Felt

An interactive sound installation
by Gust Burns & Melanie Noel

Jack Straw New Media Gallery
4261 Roosevelt Way NE
Seattle 98105

Gallery Hours: Monday - Friday, 9 - 5


Drawing by Heide Hinrichs

Felt is an investigation into how matter, form and surface hold, reveal, and alter what they contain. Four 12" dubplate records on four separate turntables, each with its own sound system, may be played by visitors to the gallery - one at a time, all at once, or in any combination. Two are piano recordings by improviser Gust Burns and two are poems by Melanie Noel.

For more information see our New Media Gallery page.
