"Drift"
Overview:
Drift is a two-channel video installation featuring two musicians playing an original, reactive composition as they are set adrift in the ocean on separate, custom-built rafts. As the musicians physically drift away from one another, their ability to hear each other diminishes causing the duet to slowly fall apart.
Collaboration Details:
Key Partners: Eric McMasters (artist), Akins Allaman (violinist), Locust Projects (art gallery)
Mediums/Elements: Violin Performance, Visual audio storytelling
My Role: Played a violin duet piece on a specially designed conjoined violin with violinist Akins Allman by Eric McMasters in two separate oats from the installation. The piece represents the opposite of the filmed version of the duet where instead of the two violin parts becoming more separated as the song progresses, they come together in unison.
