Jason Lescalleet and Olivia Block: Sonorous Vessels
3S Artspace, Portsmouth, NH
April 18, 2015
Sound artists Jason Lescalleet and Olivia Block collaborated for the first time in the world premiere of Sonorous Vessels, a new piece inspired by and extending upon Alvin Lucier's Music for Piano with Amplified Sonorous Vessels, on Saturday night at 3S Artspace in Portsmouth, NH. I wrote about Lescalleet's series and this particular concert in the latest installment of my Newer Music column for the Boston Globe last week (column here), added more insights from Block here on the blog a few days later (post here), and then made the quick, pleasant drive up from Boston to Portsmouth for the event.
A terrific performance. Photos now…words to come.
Block Six, the very pleasant restaurant and bar at 3S Artspace. Mostly populated by diners who aren't headed to the performance in the next room.
