GIACOMO FIORE / ROBERT BLATT + KEVIN CORCORAN + MANFRED WERDER

GIACOMO FIORE presents Lost Horse Wash Drone - a series of works composed after one week in residence at the Lou Harrison House in Joshua Tree California, contemplating matters of tuning, improvisation, and our environment. The music is built on small just intonation modes, played on fretless electric and refretted resophonic guitar with live electronic manipulation, and accompanied field recordings from day-long hikes into the desert, in an attempt to bring environmental and improvised sound together.

In a performance including 35 mm slides, analog tape, field recording, found documents, text, typewriter, and voice, ROBERT BLATT, KEVIN CORCORAN, and MANFRED WERDERcollectively realize an assemblage of their work engaging the concept of history through its intersections with art, land, and politics.
ROBERT BLATT is a composer, artist, performer, and writer. His practice explores expanded situations that reevaluate sound and listening through environment, community, and language. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
KEVIN CORCORAN works with sound in contexts of music, art, communication, and place, with recent projects focused on field recordings expanded across media. He lives in San Francisco while often in transit tracing places of interest and inquiry.
MANFRED WERDER is wandering through the abundance in which he traces all possible enunciation regarding the world. His recent works [ the inscription of the sun ] and [ the music of history ] continue the practice of reflection and inscription of both found materials through the sun and typewriter and the public space through dérive. Lives in situ.
Manfred Werder’s presence has been made possible in part by the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
