(2021)
Score / Sound Installation / Performance: 13 performers, 13 wind chimes, equally divided within an octave.
Thirteen chimes are hand-cut and tuned to thirteen equal-distanced pitches within the 12-note Western equal-tempered octave. The chimes are sounded in a procession which asks the thirteen performers to self-organize themselves in a sequence, while individually and collectively becoming familiar with the tones of the chimes they carry. Music for 13 Paths challenges the spatial organization of gridded neighborhoods with an intervention into the organizing systems of music.
Commissioned by Gallery TPW in partnership with Trinity Square Video and imagineNATIVE. Music for 13 Paths was part of The Parkette Projects curated by Shani K Parsons. Performance in Toronto, Treaty 13, on October 16th, 2021.
Second performance April 15, 2023, in St. Louis, Missouri presented by Counterpublic.
