Infrequency is an ongoing podcast series of live performance recordings and artist commissions, in conjunction with Tate’s Intermedia Art programme. The podcasts will be infrequent and intriguing, building on and developing a legacy of avant-garde and contemporary sound and electronic music.
The American composer Alvin Lucier was an early pioneer of sound works which use systems as a generative device. He has since produced innovations in many areas of musical composition and performance, including the notation of physical gestures, the use of brain waves in live performance, and the evocation of room acoustics for musical purposes. For this series of performances, Lucier presents work that has a strong connection to the artistic strategies represented in Open Systems: Rethinking Art c.1970.
