Field:Line - Mark Cetilia & Joe Cantrell

Field:Line is a site-specific performance for pre-recorded electronics, environmental sounds and musicians at Legg Lake in South El Monte, CA. In addition to being a recreational space and stopover for migratory birds, Legg Lake is intersected by towering high-powered electrical lines, the sounds of which create delicate fields of crackling sound above the visitors walking underneath. Field:Line explores the intersections between this sonic environment, a twelve-channel piece incorporating location recordings gathered at Legg Lake and synthesized sounds, as well as an open score for live performers.
