Module 12: Persistence Gombus!
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloist: Sarah Belle Reid-Trumpets & Electronics
In celebration of the completion of Vinny Golia's mammoth project, "Even to This Day..." Movement One - Inoculation in 12 sections/modules, Vinny invited Carole to listen to a subset of the whole and select 5 pieces to respond to visually. To find a way into this mammoth oeuvre, Carole invited Vinny to do a collaborative improvisatory drawing while listening to the music. From a bed of multicolor, squirrely lines, forms emerged. This became the visual basis for Persistence Gombus and opened up a point of entry into further compositions.
Module 10: Persistence for William
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloists: Tim Feeney-percussion, Cassia Streb-viola, Vinny Golia-conch, shakuhachi, percussion
From the start of the pandemic, one of the areas of exploration that has been a deep dive for Carole has been designing customized particles for particle emitters for live drawing. For this piece she extracted parts from machine assembly diagrams and played with the timing of disintegration. The music seemed to keep wanting to plough forward, build then disassemble.

Tim's haunting percussion animates audio-reactive elements that reveal fragments of the architectural structure of an abandoned greenhouse.

The back and forth inscription of sound is both seismic record, pulse and building of an emergent landscape that later gets irrigated from below.

Module 1: Observation
Carole Kim, visuals
Vinny Golia, composition
soloist: Vinny Golia-contrabass flutes, hun, percussion
For this piece, Carole wanted to capture the fluidity of breath and sound, the transmutation of dried leaves to skin, the suspended solidity of moisture.

___________________________________________
By directing the Zeitgeist musicians to explore and restrict their palette to mechanical sounds on their instruments, composer Scott Miller was already steering his compositions in the direction of the unexpected. This diet of whups, whines, metallic flourishes and klangs triggers an intricate series of calculations within Scott's electronic realm setting off disruptive moments that he refers to as "events" or "bells." The very spoons that feed this electronic system are signaled to navigate further down the score. The chain reaction is not linearly evident as in a Rube Goldberg contraption, but one has the impression that an organism with a developing nervous system is under the microscope of our attention.
It is from this observational point of view, peppered by imagery from shared books read (China Mieville, Susanna Clarke), that I conjured the visuals for this soundscape. Through frequency analysis, I connect the aural impulses to an equally reactive visual nervous system that floats and spasms to the very sounds that animate the organism. The smallest change in variable produces markedly different behaviors. With a deeply rooted fascination by the way video projection behaves with different physical materials, I created two micro installations, one of dried plant matter and the other of glass and wax paper. The view from live cameras are composited in real time to give this organism space to move and breathe. A fine-tuned interaction of close observation and response allow for this world to bloom and unfold.

___________________________________________
The preceding movement #1 (vimeo.com/503979177) suggests an internal world or organism full of excitable nerves and vessels. For Coincident #2, I was looking to create more of a sense of spaciousness. These odd hollow parasols descend and ascend on long tethers and ultimately exert territorial behavior. They sway from the weather pattern of kickback winds of explosions that are sometimes met by complete indifference like a meteor that elides a collision on its course.

Agitable. Frenetic, strobey, spastic, nervy. Synchronizing the pitter-patter of our inner clocks. The mothership is implied--for a short visit or here to stay? The feelers probe for input, empathic vibrations in the atmosphere, venturing in closer to take another sniff.
GLASS HOUSE
https://vimeo.com/424519847
beneath-the-kitchen-table series
Carole Kim (visuals) and Laura Steenberge (sound) explore worlds within worlds within a micro installation that slowly evolves. A glass house suggests a permeability between exterior and interior. Particles of solidity dissolve into cloudy organic trails. Are we reassured or made more vulnerable by our ephemeral, loving attention to detail?
(d(e)volve)
Carole Kim, visuals
Paul Chavez, sound
March 2020
Hunkering down these past months, Kim sought solace in the details. Inventing libraries of custom particle emitters, Kim links these new "brushes" to her ongoing love of drawing and the micro-sensitivity of the gesture. Trails form clusters that float, momentarily obfuscate then dematerialize. (d(e)volve) is based on an online performance with longtime collaborator and sound designer Paul Chavez, exploring the means that are available to us now to still connect in the moment through attentive improvisation.
