Composition: simple instruction, complex patterns

Pauline Oliveros, Tuning Meditation

Oliveros instructs participants to: “Inhale deeply; exhale on the note of your choice; listen to the sounds around you, and match your next note to one of them; on your next breath make a note no one else is making; repeat. Call it listening out loud.”

Choreographic installation: simple instruction, complex patterns

William Forsythe, NOWHERE AND EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME, NO.3

In this third version of the work each of the pendulums can be separately controlled. The interactive installation consists of sixty plumbs hanging on strings and moving in the space of the room. Choreographed by Forsythe, the movement of the weights is programmed in such a way as to produce a kinetic and acoustic counterpoint that divides the room into many unpredictable, changing parts. Filled with unpredictable complexity, the space addresses the state of the visitors’ perceptions and reflexes and leads them into a light and surprising choreography of perpetual avoidance.

What patterns do you notice?
