Late
at Tate: Colour Remixed
Wolfson Gallery, Tate Liverpool, UK
6 - 7pm, Saturday 15 August 2009
"Become completely immersed in the sound of Sol LeWitt's Wall
Drawing #1136 as composer and sound artist Wil Bolton plays
live in the gallery. Bolton combines electronic tones with processed
acoustic sounds including field recordings and musical instruments.
In the spirit of Sol LeWitt's use of seriality and arbitrary systems,
Bolton uses the work as an inspiration and graphic score, mapping
the seven spectrum colours onto the corresponding notes on coloured
chime bars to produce an electro-acoustic composition. Experience
the resulting elongated drones layered with field recordings made
within the gallery and surrounding area as Bolton plays live."
