SELF PROMOTION / limited edition release of live performance with painting
« on: July 20, 2011, 10:08:05 pm »
Hello all. I'm releasing a live performance, from the release party for my newest album, Folding In On Itself, recorded in New York City on May 12, 2011.
In this instance I wanted to make something that is as much about the visual, physical art object as it is about the sound. Instead of a package per se, I'm making textural paintings and collages on wood, which come with a code that can be used to download a full resolution file of the music. Rather than tack on a CD to the object, I wanted to call attention to the lack of need for a physical delivery device for the audio, allow it to break free of packaging constraints of any sort.

Each piece is one in this series of 99, but is essentially on its own. The aim is to follow a guideline based on the first piece but each one is quite different in texture, stroke, color, and all the subtleties of the hand, as opposed to printing replication of any kind. Each is part of a continuum, so that one leads to an idea about the next, and connects to it, but does not restrain where it can go. It is a music release with new art made for each iteration, a painting with accompanying sound.
I'm releasing these three at a time, about every week or two. Currently six are done. The images on the site are perhaps a bit static but I'll be putting up more dimensional representations shortly. Thank you for reading.
Take care,
Ezekiel
