“Untitled (Leo Amino)” which was made on the occasion of 13th Annual ReVIEWING Black Mountain College conference and the exhibition Leo Amino at Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, Asheville, NC.
The piece was created with musicians and composers: AnimaeNoctis, Wayne DeFrehr, Chelidon Frame, Kristaps Freimanis, Sylwia Gorak, Luis Guita, Roland Kuit, Eileen McLoughin, Tim Reed, and shan-uh-kees. Curated by Weronika Trojańska.
This album came about to celebrate all the musicians participating in my project and their compositions made especially for it.
More about the general concept:
It uses sound as representation of Leo Amino’s sculptures. As some of his works may already resemble musical instruments in their form, like those made with wood and wire (he often also titled them as numbered “Compositions”), or scores – in general his “refractional” sculptures made with light, color, and transparent materials bring to mind the quality similar to music. Thus the piece focuses on the idea of transforming this lucidity of color and form into another medium and re-materializing Amino’s art works in sound. On one hand it can give the opportunity for the audience to discern some other aspect of Japanese-American artist’s work than the visual ones, on the other – it could be a chance for people who are not able to see his work to experience it in some way. Playing with the idea of invisibility, created “soundscapes” (with the help of professional musicians) act more like mirrors than copies – Weronika Trojańska
