Pendulum Music<\/em> was premiered in 1969 at The Whitney Museum of American Art, performed by Richard Serra, James Tenney, Bruce Naumann and Michael Snow.<\/p>\nForty years ago the minimalist Reich used microphones, now Dave Allen shifts the feedback back to rock music, using electric guitars. Their differing sound oscillates between its avantgarde minimalist background and the experimental roots of rock. The installation in its stillness creates associations; changes of directions, new connections of sound. From minimal music to contemporary experimental noise music, from Steve Reich to Pete Townshend\u2018s auto-destructive stage antics, to Jimi Hendrix\u2018s wailing star spangled banner.<\/p>\n
In this installation the guitars never hung on musician\u2018s shoulders, and were never played. At the opening they will be pulled back, by four performers, and allowed to swing. They will swing back and forth, creating a feedback at the point they pass their amplifiers.
\nThe performance lasts until the guitars come to rest.<\/p>\n
