About This Event
DURATIONS at Public Records presents Suzanne Ciani and Courtney Bailey in a shared live bill. Ciani's work with synthesizers and spatial presentation, including quadraphonic experiments, meets Bailey's theatrical background—her plays' shifts in time, snappy dialogue and mixing of literature, pop culture and philosophy—to frame an evening that places electronic sound alongside narrative structure.
