Vehicular Orchestra

.

Tonight the Mister and I are riding bikes to this:

A Novel in the Form of a Car Bomb
An experimental radio-play with vehicular orchestra and live chorus

Writer and Director: Mary Walling Blackburn
Composer and Conductor: Christopher Marianetti

Date: May 23rd, 8:00 pm
Location: Industry City's long-term parking lot at 36th & 2nd Avenue
Limited Seating. RSVP at vehicular.orchestra@gmail.com

This modern tragedy/live radio play is performed outdoors at dusk and is accompanied by a live chorus and an octophonic vehicular orchestra (the cars are the instruments). Sounds arise from three concentric rings consisting of 12 singers, eight cars with eight boom boxes and one FM radio transmitter. Together, these sonic elements and their conflicting narrators, re-imagine the car as something other than bomb or vehicle.
