At Chapel Performance Space, Seattle - $10-20 at the door - doors at 5:45pm

Joey Largent presents his expanded solo work for ten amplified cymbals as a 3-hour immersive, durational performance in collaboration with movement artists Katrina Wolfe and Kawtee Wolfe, who will join collectively with delicate, continuous, improvised movement throughout. The piece will be performed in near darkness in pairing with hypnotic field recordings captured in the terminal chamber of the continuously dripping Falls Creek Cave. The work is inspired by a composition written in 2018 for Ole’s Cave near Mount St. Helens. 

The work is a continuation of compositions from Largent’s recent site-specific release, Below Diorite Waters (Dragon’s Eye Recordings, 2021), using continuously malleted, closely mic’d cymbals to explore the natural harmonic relationships between cymbals, and to magnify their organic layers of overtones in a sensorially-limited environment. The piece uses no electronic processing, EQ, or effects beyond amplification. 

Those who attend are invited to enter with a dim flashlight or headlamp (putting it out once seated), and are free to come and go at any time, or remain for the entirety of the piece. Seating will be primarily on the floor, with a few chairs for those who need them. All who attend are encouraged to bring floor pillows, blankets and any other items comfortable to them to the space.
