Tremble Staves

(2017-2019)

Music composition

 

Performed amongst the collapsed ruins of the failed Sutro Baths in San Francisco’s Lands End, but can be performed by any ruins near a large body of water.
Instruments include quarter-tone guitar, bathroom sink, floating cello, narrator, dowsing rods, bird calls, amplified tile, stirred broken mirrors, amplified fishing rod, homemade feedback ukulele, oxygen tank, student guitarists, and 13+ percussionists. Not a work to bring awareness, but a proposition for imagining when we are already gone.
