Attack >> Decay ; ; Sustain ( ( Release : A tribute to Bob Moog's sonic legacy



new work by CSC Satellite Member R. Brooke Priddy

in collaboration with Janice Lancaster Larsen, and Kimathi


This group show, curated by Gene Felice, illustrated some of the core principals of analog / synth sound creation : ADSR, in homage to the late great Bob Moog.

Artist/dressmaker R. Brooke Priddy, Dancer/Choreographer Janice Lancaster Larsen, and Composer Kimathi have approached the ADSR envelope point of departure from an outsiders perspective. Through the creation of a earthen garment and the process of its gradual decay, we will see a figurative definition of the words, ATTACK, DECAY, SUSTAIN and RELEASE.

The earthen garment was displayed at the Asheville, NC Arts Council Gallery throughout the month of July, slowly decaying as pulsing speakers played low rumbling bass inside the skirts. On the evening of the closing event, Janice Lancaster Larsen donned the garment and brought about its decay through movement with live sound by Kimathi.
