Eldar Tagi

Postlude

Postlude is constructed primarily out of the recordings documenting the demolition of several architectural models and minimal electronic soundscape accompaniment. The models were provided by the 2019 graduate students from SCI-Arc. To orchestrate the destruction of mini-structures a modified metal bending machine was used.

Process models for sound work were contributed by Daria Ragimova, Gabriela Zappi, William Maya, Sabrina Yuen and Yuan Wang, Emmanuel Angulo and Rebecca Fitzgerald.
