about

Skydrift was realized on December 11, 1977 at Little Blair Valley within the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California. The work required ten voices, sixteen instrumentalists, and four channels of electronic sounds derived from materials generated at the performance site. Over a thirty-minute period the instrumentalists slowly moved outward from the central circle of voices and electronic sound sources, while performing in response to information from the environment, until reaching the perimeter of audibility from the center of the space. This configuration resulted in an expanding sonic formation which ultimately occupied a space a half-mile in diameter, remaining audible for approximately two miles from the sound source. The project was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.
