Sally Decker and Brendan Glasson present ouroboros— accoustic feedback never sounded so good. The piece uses feedback as a primary source, sonically symbolizing the ouroboros, or snake eating its own tail.

Come listen for the wavering spaces in-between crystalline tones. Autoharps, guitars and singing create eerie, ethereal landscapes that will leave you vibrating long after the show.

Right before feedback finds stability, or “bottoms out,” there is an unknown, fragile space where the feedback is searching for stability. This is where you find wavering spaces between two tones, the changing paths from one frequency to another.
– Brendan Glasson & Sally Decker

Sally Decker & Brendan Glasson explore relationships of sounds, searching for shape and balance between oppositional musical forces. Their first collaborative album, An Opening, was released on Full Spectrum Records in 2020. The duo wrote a piece for the two-player Auerglass Organ, made by Tauba Auerbach and Cameron Mesirow, for a performance at SFMOMA. In a piece for the High Desert Soundings festival, they examined dependence, independence, and interdependence with tape, reed organ, electronics, and feedback. They composed a multi-channel work for the Center for New Music using the historic synthesizers housed at the Mills Center for Contemporary Music, and performed a long-form piece for the Glenview Classical Series utilizing the church’s pipe organ and an analog synthesizer.
