2010 / audiovisual performance / music composed by John Cage and performed by Angelica Vasquez on harp

IN A LANDSCAPE was composed, together with Cage’s Suite for Toy Piano, at Black Mountain College, North Carolina in 1948. Cage was at the college to present a festival of music by Eric Satie, a composer whose influence can be heard in the meditative and hypnotic study for solo piano. Black Mountain College was recognized as one of the leading progressive schools in the States, and Cage taught there in 1948 and 1952. Lou Harrison was head of its music department in 1952 and he staged what is considered to be the first ever multi-media happening with participation from John Cage, Merce Cunningham, David Tudor, and Charles Olson.

For the live cinema piece One Month House, the deconstruction of an appartment block was filmed for the duration of several weeks. The time lapse footage of the webcam, capturing one frame every minute – is a record of the breaking down process, as well as a document of the passing of time, seizable in the fluctuations of the changing light. By the means of a custom image analysis software, these variations in image intensity are transformed into audio signals and used as a layer of the composition. Thus, the play of clouds, the flickering sun and day-night rhythms are translated into a fragile interplay between images and sound, in which the deconstruction is abstracted.
