The work is an interactive immersive performance. Rhys Chatham plays solo or with a combo in his signature minimalist style. Rapahele Shirley creates site specific light sculptures and G.H. Hovagimyan controls the lights via a custom interface using gestural recognition. G.H. responds to Rhys’s music via his gestures which control Shirley’s lights. The audience is all around or views the work from a platform above the players.
