Geoffrey Hendricks, A PROJECT FOR BEN PATTERSON (2014)
“A PROJECT FOR BEN PATTERSON
Transpose Nam June Paik’s score
One for Violin Solo, 1962
to the Double Bass
(and I’ll paint sky on the inside of all the fragments)
Geoffrey Hendricks 2013”
Geoffrey Hendricks’s composition for Ben Patterson alludes to Nam June Paik’s One for Violin Solo, by transferring the idea to Patterson’s instrument, the double bass. An instrument is lifted very slowly and with deep concentration above the performer’s head and is smashed by a single forceful attempt.
