Byron Westbrook, Corridors
Originally aired 6/27/11

On December 10, 2010, experimental composer Byron Westbrook gave a performance to celebrate his first CD release of the Corridors project on Sedimental Records.

Westbrook is an artist working with the dynamic quality of physical space using multi-channel sound, images, and objects. His audio/video performances under the name Corridors involve the distribution of processed instrumental and environmental recordings through a multi-channel environment. His installation-based work explores unique and participatory listening formats utilizing common technology. Partially composed and partially improvised, Corridors takes pre-processed instrumental improvisations and re-distributes them through a customized multi-channel audio system, reacting to the response of a performance space; video elements are sources of light processed to reduce identification of form, object, and location.
