Santa Fe-based composer and performer Eric Heep presents Ladder Spectra, an installation and accompanying performance for six hanging metal plates, bricks, and electronics.
The plates hang from red nylon string, underneath which are towers of bricks with three solenoids primed to strike at different points on each plate. The plates come from a disassembled ladder steel bookshelf that sat around unused for years - but when struck by the solenoids, the peculiar spectral characteristics of each plate becomes audible.
Installation on view June 23-26 in Automata. Performance June 25: 5-5:30pm.
