Sympathy for the Sleep Year
Musical performance presents a mirage of force, surface and opacity. Through intimacy and confidence, it is ever the meeting of figuration, technology and transience. Forms bloom blossom and peak before being packed away for the archive and the marathon. These are the throngs of night. Sleep Years presents four musicians exposing their afternoon economies. Stepping and steeping into the parallel reality of a reading event, these spheres which inform and botanize musical practices are brought to exposition.
