A 61 key reed organ that still functions as a pump organ, but has been modified to split the signals into a five-part, twelve channel audiovisual system controlled by the keyboard. The instrument processes audio and video signals from live broadcast television through antennas and digital tuners.

This is my haunted victorian child 👻
The switches (keys) need to be properly secured, which is why half of them are activated without contact. When completed this keyboard will mix audio and video from live broadcast television signals

*me trying to fix it*

Me: I can fix it (to the irreparably damaged timing mechanism)

the cameras

An 8mm Bolex with a damaged winding mechanism was donated to my studio. After extensive attempts to repair the camera, I gave up when I got to the timing issue. Setting it aside for parts, I found a functional model and got my first bit of test footage back from Colorlab today ✨🎞️✨

This is a rough #blueprint for the project. I need to add an interface at the splits to prevent the signal from going everywhere and the monitors will go down to seven, but this is generally the plan (4/4)

Video will have a #CCTV base signal, and broadcast television will come in as #interference when you play the lowest and highest octaves of the #keyboard (3/4)
January 28, 2025 at 1:16 AM
It will process #audio through three octaves of keys in the center. Low, middle, high (2/4)

I am close to finishing this project but waiting on a #DCCAH grant to get the final parts. This is a #ReedOrgan that will play audio and video from live broadcast #television #signals. It also still functions as an #organ (1/4)

Earlier this month, my wonderful officemate (who has yet to set up an account here) invited them back to DC to perform publicly, using simultaneous distorted 35mm projections of “The Dead” and “Addams Family Values” over experimental synth+EMF transmissions 🩶 (2/2) #📽️ #35mm #filmsky #filmisnotdead

Recently I had the privilege of working closely with Sandra Gibson, Luis Recoder, and Richard Garet on a performance of “The Changeover System”. I met Luis and Sandra in May at a nerdy workshop in the booth at the Hirshhorn and we used film projectors that had been abandoned since 2012 … (1/2)

Hello ✨🦋✨
This is the Trans-Harmonium in Philadelphia on July 13, 2024. It’s tuned to local radio stations. As I travel and record this instrument I am documenting fragmented simultaneous broadcasts occurring in each city at random moments to collect an archive of fragmented time ✨📻🎹📻✨
