Dimensions Project

Over the last couple of months, I've been working on a sound project titled Dimensions, which saw its first performance today. I was planning on posting pictures, videos, audio and a few items which will be put up for sale in the newly reformed adrian-clement.com store, but unfortunately, I never managed to take photos, and I completely forgot to turn the video camera on during the performance. Nevertheless, it was a complete success, and it got a very favorable reception. I am in talks for giving a second performance of the project, most likely a public one, so I'll keep you posted on how that eventuates. If it does (and I hope it will), I will be doing it in about four weeks or so. During this time I will be uploading decent photographs, better video footage than I would've been able to acquire today, audio, and everything else that I see fit.

Dimensions is my first proper performance in over a year, and the first one that has gone beyond my classical, jazz and contemporary-classical roots (predominately in piano) in that it explores different use of media and styles such as extreme metal and noise. Over the last three or four years, I've been drenched in experimental and avant-garde composition, and excited by the prospect of performing in a vein that challenges and defies genre, confronts responders, and experiments with different media and sound. I see Dimensions as the first proper step in that direction, one which I feel is in line with my artistic aims as a whole. I expect to work with sound a lot more from this point onwards. Hopefully it will culminate in some recordings and performances. Whatever the outcome is, I hope you that you enjoy what is to come.

For now, I hope the following artwork, which was designed for a series of five tapes and one CD (which are in a similar vein to Mixtape Volume 2) is enough to suffice you:
