Guitarist and composer Elliott Sharp in Beneath the Valley of Gwangi, a solo performance for guitars and electronics presented at the Clocktower Gallery on Jan 24, 2012 as part of the gallery’s performance series produced for the Canyon Candy exhibition and its Western-themed fantasy. Artists Mike Anderson and the band Javelin, creators of Canyon Candy, supported the contribution of the composer and many other artists who expressed interest in occupying the installation space and adding other levels of interpretation. In this case, Elliott Sharp presented his own soundtrack to the 1969 Ray Harryhausen film, The Valley of Gwangi, in which a band of cowboys encounters a dinosaur invasion. Sci-fi author Jack Womack introduces the show.
