Junk and Myano

Oct 28, 2004
Field:

Concert, Performance

Location:

Grand Luxe Hall, Western Front

Description:

Junk was a live performance by Derek Champion. Champion was underneath a large plastic tarp that covered the floor of the Grand Luxe Hall with household items, toys, tools, and other common objects strewn across the floor. A camera recorded Champion as he moved across the space and manipulated the objects to produce sound to create new textures and realities from their everyday uses. 

Myano was a performance-installation by Joe Winter with a deconstructed piano that was modified to be electronically amplified and modulated with contact and feedback. Winter screened a short video that documented his performance with the piano around Warren College’s campus before performing live. The evening closed with a question and answer session with Winter.

Presented in partnership with New Forms Festival. 
 
Video documentation is available upon request.
