Kicking off a three-year LA Phil residency for director Yuval Sharon, Nimbus is an installation that transforms a transitional space into a performance site. More info: http://bit.ly/Nimbus1617
The installation acts as a timepiece for Walt Disney Concert Hall as Rand Steiger’s commissioned music changes over the course of the day, alternating between computer generated musical atmospheres and compositions built from material recorded by soloists from the Los Angeles Philharmonic. These pieces, spatially distributed over 32 speakers, alternate with periods of silence interrupted by brief related sounds triggered by motion sensors.
Nimbus also features a live performance element with vocalists from The Industry. The live-performance version was seen throughout the day on Saturday, October 1, 2016 as part of the LA Phil's Noon to Midnight event and on Saturday, October 29, 2016 as part of Grand Avenue Arts: All Access.
