Open Space is excited to welcome duo Reidemeister Move consisting of bassist Christopher Williams and tubaist Robin Hayward. This duo will present their multimedia composition, Arcanum 17, for contrabass, microtonal tuba, text, and field recordings as well as Borromean Ring for contrabass and microtonal tuba.
This concert will be a unique opportunity to hear Hayward’s microtonal tuba, capable of playing every conceivable pitch throughout the instrument’s five- octave range, in all tuning systems and temperaments.
To create a 3D sonic experience for Arcanum 17, a state-of-the-art modular speaker system, designed by sound artist and musician Charlie Morrow, will play field recordings collected by Williams and Hayward at the Roche Percé. Sounds will surround the audience from above and below.
