ANDY ORTMANN - Composition For Four Motorcycles & Four Synthesizers

A multi-sensorial performance presented by Andy Ortmann on November 20, 2010 at the New Capital Gallery space. The piece was recorded in Quadraphonic, as it was performed. Consisting of four different synthesizer operators and four motorcycle operators, the composition builds from a looming drone to a cataclysmic climax of fumes and frequencies. Performers were: Alex Barnett, Henry Glover, Beau Wanzer, Jeremiah Fisher, Greg Lunceford, Amovong Panya, Andrew Furse & Andy Ortmann. The recording will eventually see the light of day as a Quadraphonic LP. This piece was funded by an Arts Grant by the City of Chicago, Illinois Arts Council.
