METLIVEARTS: Sonic Cloisters 01 : Lost Souls of Saturn
Bespoke Studios New York, NY / Commercial
Director, Producer, Visual FX
Sonic Cloisters, a series of site-specific electronic music performances features renowned and emerging electronic music artists recorded in the unique spaces of The Met Cloisters. Created specifically for digital platforms, Sonic Cloisters emphasizes the look, feel, and sound of the Cloisters as the inspiration and starting point for new electronic music. Freed from the confines of the dance floor, these artists interact with the Cloisters’ collection, architecture, and environment to explore new creative territory and compositional approaches. Lost Souls of Saturn—Seth Troxler and Phil Moffa—combines music, storytelling, and technology to create a unique, immersive performance environment. The group explores new ways to access human perception and challenge the ways we see our world, while marrying the prescient visions, political aspirations, and psychedelic energy of science fiction and early rave culture with postmodern philosophy and contemporary art. Lost Souls of Saturn’s special thanks for their contributions: ATO Designs, Kim-lillian Strebel, Stuart Bogie, Monty York, Greg Paulus, John Camp, James Lavelle, Rev. Timothy Troxler, Lazarus Man, Tokimonsta, Jonathan McDonald, Ed Cartwright, and The Met teams.
