This Wednesday, September 22, I will be a part of The Big Car Collective performance group ‘Pharm Accident’. We will be performing at the IMA’s 100 Acres visitor center to celebrate the fall equinox. If it does rain, we will be performing the next night on Thursday September 23. The performance starts at 7 pm and is free to the public. It should be a lot of fun. I will be one of 8 music stations paired up with ‘movers’ or dancers. I will be creating noise with my circuit bent distortion pedal plus some delay. There will be a wide variety of instruments and sounds happening as well as a variety of movements inspired by these sounds. Each station will represent a leaf. Whenever that persons leaf is projected dictates when they will play. I guess it can be compared to free improvisation/free music except there are a few variables that we must take into account. I’ve never taken part in such an event so I am definitely excited. Big Car‘s write up is as follows. You can also read what the Indianapolis Museum of Art has to say about the performance.

Here is a clip of what my setup will sound like.

Don’t worry. Not all the music/noise stations will sound as hateful as mine.

“The Big Car Collective’s eight-plus person music ensemble, Pharm Accident, will join eight movers to perform a free spontaneous music and dance concert at 7 p.m. on Sept. 22 at the Indianapolis Museum of Art’s 100 Acres visitors center. This is all in a free celebration of the fall equinox. So start the season right with some unusual sounds controlled by projected leaf images. It’s hard to explain but easy to enjoy. You only need to show up, listen, watch, and enjoy.”
