The Very Large Array
of Aaron Ferrucci is
a longtime favorite. Apart from the sonics,
the visual poesy of the
work alone captivates. Aaron's particular
device which looks
something like a telescope fastened across
the top of a wooden fence
post, has an extremely humble non-tech
look. But the
recording/playback devices in each tube are noteworthy,
as is
especially the massed, other-worldly quality that the installation
takes on amid the fabulous desert landscape of Burning Man.
The site is strictly no-nonsense, a record of the events, but
there
are many very evocative photos. Sadly Aaron has lost a
few of his
tech tubes to theft. Because of this he announced
that the arrays
will likely not be installed again. However,
in a recent e-mail he
mentioned that the hardware may become
part of a larger project. He
also mentioned that he is interested
in designing 'generic
submodules that could be used for
sophisticated compositions of
ambient multi-source electronic
music.' Go Aaron!
