Composition for Four Motorcycles and Four Synthesizers

Live performance of quadraphonic composition by Andy Ortmann, on November 20th of 2010.
New Capital (a compelling Contemporary Arts space in Chicago) was to host this multi-sensorial event. Four performers operating motorcycles and four performers operating synthesizers culminated to an extreme environment both sonically and physically. The piece in it's entirety lasted approximately twenty-five minutes.

The performance was recorded and mixed down in four separated channels for a Quadraphonic LP release (Nihilist Records) in 2012.

Video shot and mixed live by John Boston. Cyclists: Amavong Panya, Andrew Furse, Andy Ortmann, Greg Lunceford. Synthesists: Alex Barnett, Beau Wanzer, Henry Glover, Jeremiah Fisher. Funded by a Grant from the Illinois Arts Council 2010.
