EATERS – Live At Paula Cooper Gallery (December 1st, 2023)

@jah.bones Very happy to share a new Eaters release today. This is a live recording from our performance at @tau_au incredible show “Free Will” at @paulacoopergallery in April
“Originally created by Benjamin Franklin, the Glass Armonica is an instrument in which spinning glass bowls are made to resonate through friction, producing individual tones. Eaters member & visual artist Christopher Duffy hand-built his own Glass Armonica, though not to any set scale, resulting in a microtonal drone machine. In their improvised live sets, Christopher’s performance on the Armonica is re-sampled & effected in real time by Jonathan Schenke (@jonnytwoeyes), and underlaid with analog synthesizer tones by R.A. Jones. 

This performance was recorded live at Paula Cooper Gallery (NYC) on April 21, 2023 for the closing of Tauba Auerbach’s show ‘Free Will’. Many thanks to Tauba for inviting us to perform, and to Paula and her staff for hosting us.”
