    About DON'T KIDNAP US

    Other “DON’T KIDNAP US” is currently playing at Qncc in New York City, presented as a live electronic and DJ-driven event. Featured performer Tyler Ashley works in the language of club music, but frames it as a performance situation rather than background sound. No specific NYC premiere history has been documented, though the piece sits in a local lineage of nightlife-as-art, where the room and the crowd become part of the material. Its most pointed move is how it turns repetition into structure, asking listeners to notice time passing.
