Siti Bauw with Liz Lessner

[EXPERIMENTAL] There’s a simple magic to the way Dutch duo Siti Bauw composes their live pieces. The methods of production are laid bare, usually on the floor: There’s always a mixer, some pedals, two microphones, and then a revolving assortment of travel-ready instruments like a melodica, a hand drum, a mouth harp, a shaker, a cheese grater, a flute of some kind. Then Nana Zoë Jovanovic or Roberta Petzoldt play a small piece of melodica or voice or percussion before hitting the loop pedal and trading off so the other can add another complementary sound, another texture to the building song. At some point, one of them begins to speak, or read a poetic piece. The result is captivating, if not near hypnotic, with the music forming a mediative background to amplify the impact of the poetry. Thanks to some financial support from the Dutch consulate, Siti Bauw are currently in town to compose a performance in conversation with Liz Lessner’s exhibition, APPETITES/ANXIETIES, which is entering its final weekend. This Friday at 8pm, Siti Bauw will play amid Lessner’s work in CEPA Gallery’s Big Orbit Project Space.
