AUTOMATA' s new Experimental Sound series TAPETAIL presents

ERIC LENNARTSON
LIMINAL FREQUENCIES
 

Automata’s TAPETAIL series is excited to welcome ERIC LENNARTSON, a Los Angeles based Oscilloscope Artist, Composer, and Improviser for a program of his recent composition ./lissa. The audience is invited to this one of a kind presentation where they will get front row seats to each of the 4 Oscilloscopes in the space. Seating is limited to be sure to reserve your tickets. 

The piece is a meditative journey filled with dense noise, pulsating tones, and mesmerizing visuals. Over the course of 45 minutes, the extremes of the medium are pushed to their absolute limits.

Oscilloscope music is a unique form of audiovisual art that exploits the duality of electronic music’s most basic element, the volt. ./lissa investigates this nature, existing in the space between music and visual art. The album oscillates between the two; Sometimes it is a purely sonic experience, other times it is primarily a visual one. Neither can exist without the other.

./lissa is Eric Lennartson’s first full length album of oscilloscope music & art. 

Tickets:
Saturday November 19, 2022 at 7PM
Saturday November 19, 2022 at 8:30PM

$15 Students, members, seniors, underemployed
$18 General Admission

Note: Masks are required for all events at Automata.

About the artist:

ERIC LENNARTSON is an Oscilloscope Artist, Composer, and Improviser based in Los Angeles. His audio-visual work makes use of analog oscilloscopes, an old piece of electronic testing equipment. While performing, he sends the sounds from his computer directly to the scope and a set of speakers simultaneously. In doing so, sound and image create a feedback loop of meaning. Although sounds create the images, the images have a direct influence on the creation of the sounds. The resulting effect is non objective imagery that interacts with dense noise, pulsating tones, and unstable beats. Through this interaction he explores the intersections between the analog and the digital, as well as the different perspectives and meaning inherent to the sound and image themselves. He has a master’s in Performance and Composition from the California Institute of the Arts and a bachelor’s in Percussion Performance from the University of North Texas. His works have been presented at the Vector Hack Festival in Rijeka Croatia, Music For Your Inbox, and can also be seen as part of an installation at Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, in Las Vegas.

TAPETAIL is Automata’s new experimental sound series, launched in October 2022.  TAPETAIL presents live events and sound installations featuring the work of experimental sound artists. We're currently looking to present shows and installations that deal with "liveness" where something about the experience is best presented live, whether through improvisation, special acoustic treatment or audience experience. There’s been a lot of great art happening in the virtual and digital world so now we’re turning our focus back towards bringing people together for sound experiences that are best experienced in a live setting.

Automata’s TAPETAIL series is curated by Cassia Streb.
