Matt Mottel: The Image Is a Seed

Now playing at ISSUE Project Room, *The Image Is a Seed* is presented as a live performance by composer and performer Matt Mottel. The work treats the “image” less as a finished object than as source material, testing how pictures can be translated into sound and form in real time. In a city where experimental music often shares space with visual art, the piece reads as part of New York’s long conversation about cross-media practice. Its restraint is the point, letting process and perception take center stage.
