Raven Chacon at City of Albuquerque
Raven Chacon "Tiguex", XI – Lowest Point: For dozens of heavy metal drummers + noise musician. Like the calm before a storm, a noise musician is slowly fading in the audio of a field recording of the desert during a heavy rain. On a given cue, a large gathering of drummers perform “blast beats” to replicate the sound of a bomb. As they become fatigued, each drummer slows down their individual tempo until none are playing. Performed amongst the bomber planes at the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History by LOTS of metal drummers with noise performer and bassists
