this sculpture was one of internal (artificial) sound sources of Pawns Court. The sound was produced by it’s built frames, basically “panel speakers”. in day mode (noon until sunset), it played a day recording of taken in March 2024 inside the empty St. Joseph's Church, Nazareth, while fighter aircraft fly over on their way back or to Lebanon during the war. This voice was synced with the video in the sculpture Altar 2024. in night mode it played two pieces created in 2019 (i) First Cello No. Two | Bi Cluster (ii) Quasi - Still.
BWV 1006: I. PRELUDE
JS Bach Violin Partita no. 3 in E Major was recomposed for Dan Weinstein in Pawns Court at Night Time. An all-specific musical offering from a student to his cello teacher.
The recomposition is a graphic score drawn on a printed arrangement for cello of the original score. It includes a structured proposition for spanning the traditional 3 minutes performance to 20 minutes. The scroe was folded into the blueprint notebook of Pawns Court, and placed on a stand next to a chair, positioned right by the custom iron handrail in the entrance, which had a stack of coal on wrapping papers drawings laid on it.
Two concerts took place in on July 4th and 13th, 2024. Unfortunately the video documentation of the concert was lost. So here you will find a recording of the 2nd concert, audio only.
