about

Transposed, an apparition of an appearance, a record of two clarinets played by Jeff Henderson and Sean Martin-Buss. The performance took place on August 14, 2022, from approximately 16:50 to 18:30 hrs, within the Governor Brick Pumphouse —a green box– located at 1A Tuarangi Road, Grey Lynn, Tāmaki Makaurau. With a modest area of 33 sqm, the pumphouse, stripped of its original purpose of water pressure provision, prompt us to reflect on its past while posing the question, "What's next?" Amidst this site of transition, marked by undefined potential, a pair of transposing woodwind instruments —a clarinet duo— pose a new occurrence. On that afternoon, in an attempt to contribute to the pumphouse's ontological narrative, the players were guided by the presence of two chairs. Each chair served as sculptural notation or a seat for the musicians. The resulting sounds embraced chance and allowed for unpredictable outcomes. Intuitive communication, formed by the moment, develops into a lexical space. As friendly experiencers, where will we position ourselves to observe two players, two clarinets, and two seats for approximately 45 minutes? By documenting this specific moment, moving from one occurrence to the next, perhaps retracing our steps, we aim to ameliorate the ambiguity surrounding the pumphouse. Sound resonates within four walls —a place to play a clarinet. Outside, the wind blows steadily and the rain persists. From the confines of a green box, descending the stairs, and now within the walls of the Audio Foundation Gallery, on to wherever your discretion takes you.

These parts —CD and chapbook— are components that embody the occurrence of a previous moment in time, transposing the sound of wind from one place to another.

Particular acknowledgment is due to Jeff Henderson and Sean Martin-Buss, whose improvised contributions made this inquiry into transposition possible. Thank you Camron and Gavin for facilitating the use of 1A Tuarangi Road while it was under offer, and to John at Pocket Bar for providing electrical power to 1A on the 14th August 2022. Audio Foundation, my sincerest thanks. Your trust in process has aided in an ability to return to fleeting sounds from that afternoon/evening, sounds that would have otherwise blown away in the unrelenting Force 4 winds.
