Annie Gosfield: EWA7 May 2, 2007

Music meets machinery in EWA7, a concert-length work that incorporates sampled machine sounds, percussion played on industrial found metal, altered electric guitar, machine-inspired rhythms, ambient noise, and the recycled sounds of many factories. In keeping with the spirit of this piece originally created for a site-specific performance, EWA7 is adapted for each venue, using a variety of factory metals, junk percussion, and materials found within the space (such as banisters and balconies), in order to create a work appropriate for the unique qualities of each space.
