“Collaborations between artists specializing in different mediums regularly bring out facets and revelations unknown to the participants theretofore. Utilizing sonic and visual elements to stimulate creation, guitarist, conceptualist Brandon Ross and his ensemble, PENDULUM, met Neo Symbolic Abstract painter Ford Crull to generate what Ross calls a sonic mandala on their new recording/multi-media piece, Of Sight and Sound.
Ross is no stranger to cross-disciplinary work. His relationship with Crull developed after they met in a spiritual study group. Their interest in each other’s work developed over their years of friendship. In 2012, Ross was asked to put a group together to play at the Jalopy Theater in Brooklyn. Ross decided this was an opportunity to work with Hardedge, a sound designer whose sonic art would be central to the aural landscape. Ross also recruited his brother, bassist Kevin Ross, and drummer Chris Eddleton. PENDULUM was born.
Of Sight and Sound is PENDULUM’s debut recording and finds the ensemble in a very different situation than most of their performances, where they generally play pieces composed by Ross. Here the group was tasked to self-orchestrate and create their own experience by letting go of preconceptions and moving to articulate the musical opportunities of the present moment.”
