His work in the '50s–'60s introduced some seriously innovative guitar sounds that presaged punk, heavy metal and prog.

Resisting labels' attempts to "clean up" his sound, Wray turned his brother's chicken coop into a 3-track studio & spent the '70s experimenting on his own terms. Legend.

Klaudia's piece is then travelling to NYC as part of the DUMBO Dance Festival.

Thank you 🙏
Most of the eruv was .8mm welding wire, which I stretched round trees by threading through holes in wooden blocks tied to trunks (so as not to harm the bark) (L). Then at strategic points I inserted guitar strings by crimping wire & string together with ferrules (R).

Deep thanks to the Foundation for this invitation, and to the locals who participated in the project.

Photos by Alicja Szulc (the good ones) and me (the rest).

The sounds we recorded—barely audible to the naked ear, fragile, yet rich in overtones— will become the basis of a new composition which will feed into Fundacja Zapomniane's ongoing commemorative activities.

Then I invited members of the local community to interact with the installation, recording sounds from the strings as they did so.

Thus the forest was transformed into a large-scale musical instrument—a resonator of history—& the eruv reimagined as an acoustic perimeter of remembrance.

1st I built a symbolic 150-metre-long eruv around the 3 mass graves, using guitar strings (from my own guitar) & wire stretched between trees. Movingly, this was the first time the scale of the burial site had been made clearly visible.

My latest attempt to answer this question responds to the requirement in Jewish law to mark the boundaries of graves (which in this case are otherwise invisible in the landscape), & the idea of ​​an eruv—a symbolic enclosure that extends the sacred space of the home into the public realm on Shabbat.

"Selected Transient Works" 🤭👏

This unique new sound installation by Miyu Hosoi in partnership with @citiesandmemory.bsky.social uses sound to collect snapshots of places and times all over the world.

On the map pictured here, the little dot in Kraków represents my recording of the famous Hejnał Mariacki trumpet call.

I've thought about this. When I choose an album's opening track, I'm thinking about people who listen to whole records, not that it's necessarily the "lead single". When I choose the highlighted track, I'm thinking about people who might come across an embedded player & only listen to 1 track.

Yeah, and she hardly ever spoke about it either. She was mainly interested in learning polyrhythms to explore a kind of trance-like approach to free improvisation.

Fun fact: I was Donna Matthews' guitar teacher while we were both at Dartington circa 2006. I knew she'd previously been in a band but only found out later it was Elastica!
