Multimedia artist Camille Norment uses the notion of cultural psychoacoustics, defined by the artist as the investigation of sociocultural phenomena through sound and music—specifically instances of sonic and social dissonance, to create works that span the thresholds of the social and the political. She is joined by improvising pianist, composer, and electronic musician Craig Taborn, a longtime collaborator known to Armory audiences from their 2016 Artists Studio appearance, for a new project that blends the pair’s unique styles and instruments, from the piano, bells, and chimes to found instruments, electronics, and the rare glass armonica. Playing with overtones and intentional feedback, the resulting collaboration perfectly marries the varying aesthetics of the Veterans Room by also extending to the audience, who are invited to create their own sonic elements that feed into the larger, immersive sound world.
