MACHINE PROJECT @ LACMA – KITUNDU & SUKHADIA VIDEO

It was quite magical performing acoustically within the iron walls of the the Richard Serra sculpture at LACMA (Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art) in November 2008. We gave 2 30 minute improvised concerts, both received wonderfully by audiences. The high ceilings and the curved walls of the sculpture threw the music around in interesting ways. One audience member came up to us afterwards and said we humanized the space and piece. Sheila Govindarajan, a dear friend and artist, joined us on this piece. I love the baby that keeps gravitating towards us, much to the dismay of her protective parents.
