We'll find out when we get there

Crawford, Drew (2024) We'll find out when we get there.

Abstract

We’ll Find Out When We Get There is a major new inter-disciplinary work exploring sound, space and human perception. A site-responsive collaboration between composer/creative director Drew Crawford, the virtuosic musicians of Plus Minus Ensemble and Tim Hand (audio), the one-hour work lies at the intersection of musical performance, art installation, choreography and acoustic experiment, designed to respond to and illuminate the aural architecture of the multi-chamber gallery spaces in which it is performed.

The term “site-responsive” refers to the way in which the work has been designed to adapt to a variety of multi-space gallery venues, activating those spaces and responding to their acoustic properties and choreographic/theatrical potentials.

In the process, our deeply emotional and often unconscious relationship to space is made conscious and audible: sounds expand to fill the whole gallery, then contract to a single, intimate corner; melodies are moved around physically in myriad ingenious ways; sine waves completely frustrate our sense of the built environment.

The result is playful, thoughtful, immersive, accessible and engaging, yet emotionally complex, allowing audiences to experience physical spaces in a new way.
