Devils Triangles Reprise (Installation Video)
2007
multichannel video, steel, electric harp, scores
dimensions variable
Devils Triangles (reprise) is a song for transporting the Bermuda Triangle to the American Midwest, Connections between the 12 major US Hub Airportds via the 6 largest domestic airlines are drawn to create the shape of the score. Granular synthesis of Aeolian wind harps along this shape generates the music of "Devil's Triangles".

This same shape was made intio a plan for a real electric harp, which I commissioned harpist/luthier John Kovac to build. I found him via YouTube and his daily video posts of his renditions of folk standards on the harp from his rural Virginian home. Videos of his improvisations on the newly made harp find their way into the video mix of Devils Triangles and complete the chain of cross-country correspondence.
