Rhythm Wars - Crazy Army
Rhythm Wars - Crazy Army

Rhythm Wars - Crazy Army

Sixteen empty oil drums resonate with deep slow tones that simultaneously recall the sustained deep drones of Tibetan singing bowls and the mysterious sounds heard inside ships. Simultaneously, the lids rumble and rattle to the contrasting rhythm of drum solo "Crazy Army". The experience is a reverberant and penetrating reflection on both musical and social rhythms. Empty oil barrels are have long been utilized as percussion instruments around the world, a heralding to the global effect of the oil economy. This work was commissioned by the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo for their fall 2012 exhibition, I Wish This Was a Song.
