6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 5 — Our series in the galleries of Crystal Bridges culminates with Sarah Belle Reid, who will present a new work for trumpet, voice, live processing & interactive electronics. “Manifold” (2023) is an investigation into temporal perception and memory—tiny moments that seem to persist indefinitely; hazy, fragmented narratives that degrade and slip away; forgotten rituals and cherished traditions. This work explores the collection, manipulation and distortion of moments in time through the use of feedback, looping, chaotic circuits, and granular processing in combination with experimental trumpet and vocal techniques. The result is a constantly churning and shape-shifting sound world that is at once intimate, relentless, playful, and surreal—frenetic improvisation, melting melodies, & punctuated silence. This FREE performance takes place in the contemporary galleries of the museum.
