About DURATIONS: An Evening with Terre Thaemlitz [Live Piano] + Conversation with Ciarán Finlayson
At Public Records, DURATIONS brings Terre Thaemlitz to the piano for a live set that treats electronic practice as a question of structure and time, not just equipment. The performance is followed by a public conversation with Ciarán Finlayson, a classical musician and active interlocutor within New York’s contemporary performance circuit. Thaemlitz’s long-running work through Comatonse Recordings has helped define a strain of electronic music that reads as critique as much as sound. The format foregrounds process and authorship, a useful corrective in a scene that often hides labor behind style.
