DEVILS TRIANGLES REPRISE (2007)
Devils Triangles (reprise) is a song to conjure the transport of the Bermuda Triangle to the American Midwest. The visual score that drives the piece is created by triangiulating the flight paths between domestic US airlines through major hub airports. Granular synthesis of the sound of Aeolian wind harps cording to this score generates the music of "Devil's Triangles".

This same shape was made into a plan for building a real electric harp, which I commissioned from an Appalachian harpist/luthier I found via YouTube. Videos of his improvisations on the Devils Triangle harp upon building it find their way into the video mix of Devils Triangles and complete the chain of cross-country correspondence.

The construction of the steel framework is inspired by a combination of a Contructivist stage set (a la Exter), game show and sci-fi aesthetic. It is a completely modular system in that it is basically a series of identical fabricated steel sawhorses stacked in a pyramid formation.
