Jay Hammond and Quran Karriem have been Artists in Residence at Lobe this June 2022.

Join us at Lobe for a first experience of this new creation!

Enacting the Circle is a participatory piece for 4D audio by Jay Hammond and Quran Karriem, with live 4D sculpting by Ian Wyatt. The piece combines a vibroacoustic attunement exercise, the synthball designed by Karriem and Rebecca Uliasz, and an improvised performance with Karriem on trombone, Hammond on electric guitar, and Wyatt on live 4D sculpting. The piece explores the relationship between embodiment and social structure in human improvisation.

Drawing from Hammond’s ethnographic research with participatory music communities and Karriem’s critical scholarship on improvisation and computational decision systems, the piece seeks to attune participants to practices of listening akin to those of improvising musicians.
