Syzygryd at Burning Man 2010
Syzygryd running on Thursday of Burning Man 2010 by Interpretive Arson, False Profit Labs, and GAFFTA, Oakland, CA Syzygryd is a town square for the collaborative creation of music. It's a public space, it's a sculpture, and it's a musical instrument. It's the most beautiful expression we can imagine of the joy we take in community, music, technology, fire, sculpture and architecture. Humans have always made music together with whatever instruments they had. Bones became flutes, hides became drums. A hundred years ago the symphony orchestra was the pinnacle of musical collaboration. Then came the electric guitar and the four-piece band. Our community today, our city in the desert, is inextricably linked with the rise of electronic music, but it's no longer enough to have crowds cheering for the performer. Dancing together is good stuff, but we're not so keen on the concept of an audience. It's time our interactive metropolis had an interactive concert hall.
