Machine Project: Pitch Battles: A Multimedia Investigation into Musical Tunings
February 15th, Artist Talk 7pm, TAT Studio
February 16th, Performance 6:30-8:00pm, TAT Studio
Machine Project presents a night of art and writing exploring a rather esoteric bit of musical ephemera and the insane controversy it's generated. In overlapping performances, Colin Dickey, Nicole Antebi and Chris Kallmyer will explore the difference between two rival pitches, 440 Hz and 432 Hz: Colin Dickey will trace the history of the war for correct musical tuning, a debate that's raged for two centuries and has involved the French government, the BBC, Joseph Goebbels, and Lydon Larouche, among others. Responding to the phenomenon of radial pattern formation by sound frequencies or Cymatics, Nicole Antebi will accompany the talk and performance with a two-channel video tinkering with the shape of sound. Additionally, Chris Kallmyer will accompany the talk sonically, creating an multi-channel environment of competing tonal systems and real-time examples of pitch-altered recordings of Wagner, sine tones, and live instruments.

The project was also the focus of a recent exhibition and festival at the Crocker Art Museum.
