What do buildings sound like? What is the residue of a building? How do structures house the process of their construction? On November 18th at Studio-X, multimedia artist DANIEL PERLIN will use screws, glue, nails, sawhorses, an audio cassette and a laptop to question work and construction as auditory processes. In "re:construction" – a layered, hour-long performance piece – Perlin will build a small house at Studio-X. Recording and manipulating samples from the construction process, he will simultaneously build a large orchestral work with rhythm, melody and harmony to be recorded onto a cassette tape in real-time. This cassette will then be housed in within this new structure as an artifact built to highlight process, and to archive the sounds of its own creation.
