30 MINUTE SNARE DRUM ROLL / FAN

by Charles HAYWARD & John SMITH
2023 / Performance / color / sound / Exp / 30' 00

30 MINUTE SNARE DRUM ROLL takes a rudimental drum technique and extends this elemental sound out beyond itself into an undulating line that pirouettes and spirals through acoustic space, changing density, pressure and volume. The pencilled, monochromatic sound suggests more than itself; time is the frame. Over the course of Hayward’s performance the looped video projection of Smith’s 1978 film FAN subverts a seemingly simple image to create an equally hypnotic and complex visual experience.
