Live improvisation with field recordings and modular synth: Charles Stankievech. The Glass Key

Charles Stankievech

Info: Temporality and timelessness collide in a sonic composition by the artist Charles Stankievech. Marshalling both subterranean and cosmic noise, the work invites viewers to meditate on deep time, deep space, and deep listening. The Glass Key comprises original electromagnetic recordings of the ionosphere, hydrophone recordings of both Arctic ice and Yucatán cenotes, and echoes within Lanzarote’s volcanic calderas. The work was originally a commission for James Turrell’s amphitheater Tree of Light in the Yucatán. Ort: Salon des Amateurs, Grabbeplatz 4, 40213 Düsseldorf.
