Praised by the Washington Post as “one of the most acclaimed experimental musicians of the last decade,” composer and former Battles front man Tyondai Braxton will perform the world premiere of HIVE, commissioned by Works & Process and presented in association with Wordless Music in the museum’s Frank Lloyd Wright–designed rotunda. Throughout the live multimedia performance that is part architectural installation and part band, Braxton will create a visual environment for his music while utilizing modular synthesis, sound design, and acoustic instruments. Audience members are invited to view Gutai: Splendid Playground both before and during the performance. In lieu of a reception, complimentary drinks will be provided during the performance.
