On Sunday March 10 from 2-5pm at Elysian Park, we shared a live activation of M&A Architecture Radio’s new issue, Sonic Dust, in partnership with Lookout FM and featuring experimental music performances by Cody Perkins, Daniel Tovar, and Isaac Pross!
Sonic Dust explored the material, metaphor, and mobile conditions of dust, smog, and smoke and the generative engagements between beings and space. Inherently liminal as something both precarious and dynamic, dust is a formless challenger of form that subverts economies of order from architecture’s materiality, to the binary of cleanliness/dirtiness, to a possible method for “de-in-visibilizing” matter we otherwise ignore.
Cody Perkins is an interdisciplinary artist who has scored and produced music for films, installations, and genre-bending musicians, and is the founder of the musical collective The Algorythms.
Daniel Tovar is an artist and educator at SCI-Arc, whose work attends to the mundane sounds of everyday life through writing, field recording, and electronic synthesis.
Isaac Pross is a Los Angeles-based classically trained violinist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer with a passion for beatmaking.
M&A programs are always free and open to the public. Specific coordinates were dropped on the week of the event.
