Seth Cluett: Rock, Paper, Zither
The American artist and composer Seth Cluett presents a new long-form work for amplified paper, oscillators, field recordings, and prepared zither. Recorded December 2014 at Experimental Intermedia Foundation in New York City.
Seth Cluett (b. Troy, NY) is a composer, performer, and artist whose work ranges from photography and drawing to video, sound installation, concert music, and critical writing. Exploring the territory between the senses, Cluett’s works are marked by a detailed attention to perception and to the role of sound in the creation of a sense of place, the workings of memory, and the experience of time. His research interests and critical writings investigate embodied experience, immersive multi-media systems, the media history of the loudspeaker, the history and documentation of sound as an expressive medium, and architectural acoustics as compositional material.
