Ro(b)//ert Lundberg presents by-passing-uponÂ
Built from a palette of double bass, cello, clarinet, drums, synthesizer, masking tape, and water-filled vessels, by-passing-upon merges sonorous ambient tones with driving rhythms and flowing, bubbling patterns. Prompted by a score both graphic and notated, Lundberg’s ensemble, featuring Sam Scranton, Robbie Hunsinger, and Lia Kohl, among others, realizes a work existing in the fluid space between pre-composed and improvised music. An accompanying artist book expands the visual and thematic world of the project, inviting audiences to flip through 100 of Lundberg’s photographs with an accompanying poetic, auto-theoretical narrative unfolding line by line, page by page. The performance at Woodland Pattern will bring attendees into the sonic, visual, and textual world of the project, with a roving musical ensemble, tapestry-size scores, visual projections, and the text narrative woven throughout the performance.
