FotoFest was thrilled to co-present Three by Three in "Ten by Ten" with Nameless Sound for an interactive evening of experimental sound!

Stationed in different areas of the "Ten by Ten" exhibition, experimental musicians Megan Easley, Ruairi Obrien, and Laura D***s responded to the works by weaving together a single piece of music through overlapping solo and duo improvisations. Guests engaged in the sonic dialog by roaming the space as the performance took place.
