PARTICIPATION
CIRCUIT RÉSONNANT is a performance oscillating between harmonious and discordant. A duo of acoustic guitar and chaotic synthesizer. There is no fixed composition. The performance is completely improvised and unfolds differently every-time depending on the environment. Both the performer and the machine, though, are not truly random, and like chaos, are built by deterministic systems, greatly influenced by changes to conditions.
During the performance textures and timbres blend together from both acoustic and synthesized sounds, which at times are starkly different and strikingly similar. Melding technology, techniques and modalities that span decades, the performance treats time as layered rather than linear. Histories fold into the present, suggesting alternate continuities and futures.
Zach Andrews is a guitarist and improviser whose work integrates live electronics and environmental sound. Each project is conceived as a live performance shaped by place, with themes drawn from the immediate environment. Through the use of everyday sounds, Zach explores the tension and harmony between the natural world and human-made noise. He often incorporates stillness, silence, and reduction as counterpoints—creating space that accentuates the voices of his instruments and the surrounding sonic landscape.
