Concert by Room

Description:

Western Front presented a concert by Room, the ensemble of Larry Ochs (saxophone), William Winant (percussion), Chris Brown (keyboard/electronics), and Scot Gresham-Lancaster (electronics). For their two-hour performance, the group used a microcomputer-controlled audio signal processor to alter their acoustic instrumentation.

Video documentation is available upon request.

In black and white, the Grand Luxe Hall holds three people performing surrounded by many instruments. One stands leaning over a grand piano, another stands poised, surrounded by many drums, and the last plays the saxophone. The audience is seen in shadow.

In black and white, a person stands, facing away, surrounded by multiple drums, right hand slightly blurred. Their hair is short and they wear a knit vest over a white t shirt. Behind them, someone stands holding but not yet playing a saxophone.

In black and white, four people stand in a circle, surrounded by instruments and wires, in the Grand Luxe hall. One stands facing a piano, another stands behind drums, another holds a saxophone looking down at sheet music on a stand, and the last sits, hand stretched out, looking down at sound controls.
