At Banff Centre for the Arts and Creativity, Rita Evans, Bair Visual Artist in Residence, Fall 2018 with Musicians-in-Residence Le fruit vert. This instrument and sculpture is based on the structure of coral, a porous body for multiple players. In a shared air chamber, the sounds of breath and liquid clash, collide and/or accumulate. This improvisation is an attempt to sonically shift the object from animal to plant to mineral in collective breathing waves, its inner chamber amplified into the space, with tectonic bass, beats and static tubular feedback. Special thanks to Banff Digital Media Practicum Mat Lindenberg. Audience footage by Rachel Yezbick and Tyler Burton. Video and editing, Rita Evans.
