"I want you to do everything you're not supposed to do [at a music performance]. Turn on your phones and walk around."—Guillermo Galindo (@galin_dog) Earlier this week, we were honored to welcome Guillermo Galindo to the Spur to share his immersive, experimental performance "Remote Control," featuring the renowned string quartet, ETHEL (@ethelcentral). Relive this unforgettable experience with us. The performance features four tracks of streaming sound and intermittent light emitted through the audience's digital devices, and create a shared sonic environment with the quartet. The first movement of the performance merges the music of the string quartet with the audience's live playing of pre-recorded sounds of war video games, military cockpits, and "after attack" soundscapes from all over the world. The second movement provides a meditative space for the audience, becoming an epilogue to the first movement. Originally commissioned and premiered by @kronos_quartet for their #50ForTheFuture project, "Remote Control" is both a composition for a string quartet and an audience-interactive sonic environment that comments on the dehumanization of warfare through the use of remote digital technologies, video games, and military drones. The work was presented on the High Line in conversation with Sam Durant's (@studiosamdurant) Plinth commission "Untitled (drone)."
