Luke Mombrea Black Gold
Sliding rhythms and revving engines from James Tenney’s ‘Glissade’ rip open a chasm from which Luke Mombrea’s atmospheric ‘Black Gold’ emerges. Tracing the history of a disastrous oil well fire, Luke’s audiovisual piece takes us from Californian mountains to the rumblings of industry. Fragmented photographs and textural projections by visual artist Nate Mohler complete the story. Sitting between these tectonic pieces is a new commission by Sasha Scott, who is known for her shattering, glitchy music. Providing catharsis is a selection of Bach chorales and a cinematic vista from Hildur Guðnadottir.
