Chimes for a Wall Drawing

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."
