Group Listening Alone
For those interested in spaces and sounds, we’ll be holding a listening experiment in the Main Concourse at Grand Central Terminal Friday, December 10th, at 7pm. A group of us will listen to Steve Reich’s seminal piece Music for 18 Musicians at the same time on our ipods, phones, whatevers while wandering/observing/experiencing this iconic space. The experience looks to examine parallels in micro and macro aspects of the piece and the place. Also, through simultaneously listening to the same piece in our own earbud worlds, we will be exploring tensions surrounding the creation of a personal identity in a social space.
The only thing you have to do is get ahold of an mp3 of Music for 18 Musicians (email us if you are interested and maybe we can figure something out). The piece is 57 minutes long so be prepared!
We will meet at the info kiosk in the center of the hall at 7.
