SUMMARY:Cicada Waves Screening with Ben Seretan
DESCRIPTION:Cicada Waves (NNA Tapes\, 2021) is a startling record in that\, throughout its 47 minutes\, we never hear anything else besides some footsteps\, a piano quietly ringing out\, and the remarkably varied sonic landscapes encountered in a dance studio in the woods one summer. It’s rich and evocative\, but there is truly no other content contained therein. \nIt makes sense\, then\, that Ben Seretan – the piano player in the woods – incorporated two ways of inflating these recordings\, of adding grist to the mill. First\, there are accompanying essays for each track – pieces of writing that examine the colonial history of the land whose sound has been captured and commodified or looks deeply at the weird wood marvel that is a baby grand piano. And there are corresponding videos for each track with images of piano keys dancing like spectres on the horizon\, digital woods\, flowers\, bugs\, stop animation\, and a shirtless hula in a snowstorm. \nThis event will gather and screen the entire visual album for an audience for the first time ever\, a stark contrast to the Internet-only release and deep isolation of its creation. These videos – in combination with the spare\, lovely recordings – are transportative\, nearly hypnagogic\, and at times quite funny. Join us as we “throw open the windows and let the world in.” \nArtist Bios: \nBen Seretan is a musician and writer from Troy\, New York who is working hard. In 2018\, he released a 24-hour-long album of guitar clouds called My Life’s Work. In 2020 came Youth Pastoral\, a lightly dance-music-influenced collection of cathartic full band jammers about breaking up with God (named one of the best albums of the year by Pitchfork). This year – emerging from the Internet as if from a 17-year burrow in the woods – Seretan whipped up Cicada Waves\, a visual album of piano recordings from the riotous and cacophonous woods of north Georgia where\, more often than not\, the piano isn’t played. And every Thursday he sends a new track and a 1\,000 word piece of writing via My Big Break\, a hard-to-describe email newsletter. \nwww.benseretan.com\nread.mybigbreak.zone \nFeaturing work by visual artist Bahareh Khoshooee: baharehkhoshooee.com \nAnd footage by documentarians Hal and Henry Jacobs: www.hjacobscreative.com
