This scored and improvised work brings artist Vivienne Griffin together with musician Úna Monaghan for a harp-based, experimental live performance. Griffin has built a device that allows the harp to self play, expanding their practice in experimental score composition and musical dialogue. Monaghan performs with a harp and computer. Together, the duo merge harp, electronic distortion, motors, and the programming software Max MSP to create a sonic exploration of contrasts: melody in tension with noise, and meditative repetition.
