a brief synopsis of:
Design Conversation #11 : SOUND | Baltimore Experimental Music Aesthetics and Instrument Design–A High Zero Festival Panel Discussion
Wednesday 02 september 2009
the convo featured speakers from the High Zero festival and foundation:
Dan Conrad
Neil Feather
Peter Blasser
Stewart Mostofsky
these folks enlightened us in many ways, in no particular order, including, but not limited to, the following:
-playing a single stringed pvc pipe, with two pick-ups, and later, a newly-developed acoustic version
-musing on inspiration and motivation as a creator/designer/musician/human being
-explaining the history and mission of the High Zero foundation and festival
-making really, really loud noises
-wearing a jagermeister hat
-showing images of previous experiments and on-going works
-attempting to encapsulate 20 years of the creative process in 10 slides and 15 minutes
-hunting deers in different languages
pizza was generously donated by Joe from Joe Squared to keep everyone full and happy. Much thanks.
