Meridian Gallery, 535 Powell St., San Francisco
Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents a solo performance by Cornelius Boots. Cornelius’ performance at Meridian will consist entirely of the long-form, chance operation format called The Hermetic Bamboo Flute Method. This is an experimental, improvised music ritual focused on spontaneous, elemental sound explorations on 10 big bamboo flutes. The turn of Hermetic Tarot cards determines the flute and the style of each selection. The performer connects to the moment and the Invisible; the listener experiences the arising and passing away of various sounds. The performance will include special guest space-holder Felicia I. Chavez: PhD candidate in Mythological Studies, dream detective, sustainable business consultant and long-time meditation practitioner.
