A four-movement companion piece to Big Desert. Corrupted video... Help fund documentation!
Performed by Sean Thomas Boyt and Dr. Andy Thierauf (stb x at) on March 9, 2020 at Leah Stein's Studio Works Series at Our Lady Mount Caramel Church (Philadelphia, PA)
"The final work was of the duo stb x at, made up of Sean Thomas Boyt and Andy Thierauf. Andy assumed his position at the drums and began playing an ominous rumble, while Sean moved with a wave-like dexterity diagonally across the space. As Andy’s drums intensified, Sean fell into a kind of movement vernacular, returning to motifs of a hand reaching out on the ground, a side glance, and torso sloshing. Sean and Andy’s performances sometimes matched in pace and texture, and other times departed from one another to fall into their own rolling groove. The work rumbled to an end after a few minutes, but I felt as though I could have sat and watched the stormy landscape the pair created for hours."
