Leah Singer and Lee Ranaldo have collaborated on image and sound performances since 1991, exploring the intersections and possibilities between the two disciplines. Chance elements and juxtapositions are embraced; the drone of a guitar string and the flash of a film frame take precedence over any fixed exposition or overt narrative. The immersive experience invites a more personal interpretation. A suspended electric guitar in the performance space, un-tethered from the amplifiers, swings freely like a pendulum. Singer’s projected images mix with live shadow play created by the swinging guitar and Ranaldo’s presence onstage.
