Field Harp (for 16 performers)Field Harp was originally commissioned by the Des Moines Art Center in 2023, as part of the 75 Years of Iowa Art exhibition celebrating the anniversary of the center’s founding. Out of four performances scheduled, three were realized and one had to be canceled due to inclement weather. Each performance was with a different set of 16 volunteer harpists.

In addition to the Des Moines Art Center, Field Harp was supported by the Daniel J. Huberty Faculty Fellowship in Architecture at Iowa State University. Many thanks to Brittany Brooke Crow for photography, to Olivia Valentine for video, to Phil Young for audio recording, and to all the volunteer harpists who made the performances possible.


Field Harp (for 9+4 performers)
New instruments and variations have been added to the Field Harp since the start of the project in 2023. These include Aeolian Bow Harps, Long-String Harps, and Slide Harps. The addition of these new instrument typologies has expanded the possible choreographies of the Field Harp, which are explored episodically in public rehearsals held monthly.

Kite ChoirThe Kite Choir is an ensemble of custom-made kites and sound instruments that builds upon traditions of singing kites. The sound instruments in these existing traditions are carried aloft by the kites they are attached to, as the voice-box of an assemblage brought to life by the wind. The Kite Choir instead utilizes the reel and entire tow-line of the kite as the sites of instrumentation, to promote a collaborative chain of agency between atmosphere and pilot/performer. It functions as a regime of perception, an aesthetic practice of attunement with the atmosphere.The instruments developed so far include ribbon tow-lines attached to contact mics and portable mini-amps; tin-can resonator reels; acoustic and electric “hurdy-gurdy” reels of various sizes and materials. The score for the choir, written by the electroacoustic musician and composer Paula Matthusen, provides a set of instructions contingent upon varying aeolian, climatic, temporal, and psychological conditions. This score is printed as decks of “playing cards,” based on flag signaling systems. The videos below are some of the “soundings” in the ongoing development of the project, and more can be found at the links at the bottom of the page.

Soundings Duet. 2021. Audio recordings from two Kite Choir Soundings (May 5 and June 14, 2021) at
Waterworks Park, in Des Moines, played back with surface transducers vibrating
the two instruments used in the soundings, a hollow-core door, and through a guitar amp. Video
recordings from soundings on tablet and smartphone screens. In I am the sky and clouds are moving through me, at Adds Donna. &#38;nbsp;
The various types of instruments in the Kite Choir are situated between
two poles, neither allowing the human a sense of autonomous expression nor
letting them off the hook with a passive “listening device”. The instruments
with the most complex behavior so far are the “hurdy-gurdy reels”. In this family of instruments, the kite’s tow
line is nylon monofilament coated with rosin, which makes it slightly sticky.
As it is reeled in and out, this tow line bows a set of six musical strings,
arranged low to high from reel to kite. 
The strings are played open - without fingering - in alternating
pull and release. The lowest string can be played alone, or one can
incrementally contact more of the strings by varying the angle of the
instrument in relation to the kite. Things get more interesting as the line
extends further into the sky.

As with an aeolian harp, the kite’s tow line and
all of the strings on the instrument also vibrate in the wind independently of
the bowing, due to vortex shedding. This sound is always the overtones of whatever
each string is tuned to. The tow line of the kite, however, is changing in
length and varying in tension as it is reeled in and out, so its vortex
shedding sound can range from a soft cooing to a high, fiendish wail. As the
tow line is vibrating in this way, both from bowing and from vortex shedding,
it acquires a thickness that can be used to engage the middle strings that
otherwise don’t sound out as much as the low and high ends. The sound that
develops in each performance involves all of these factors, and others
involving place and time, in an invariably improvisational entanglement. &#38;nbsp;



The
kite should have just enough lift to fly. No running is necessary. The sound is
not about actions – of flying or falling, pulling, playing, or bowing - but about
finding durations of suspension in the air. When the line is in a tensioned
curve, reeling the line in and out can be akin to breathing. Without the kite pulling
up or the pilot pulling down, the two become momentary counterweights,
suspended from each other. The sound of that state of suspension is when
nothing seems to be happening at all, even though all the lines are
vibrating. The sense is not of broadcasting sound out into an
environment, but of immersing oneself in the air as if diving into an ocean.

Kite Choir Score
The Kite Choir score, by Paula Matthusen, provides sets of variable instructions based on climatic, aeolian, temporal, and psychological conditions. The score is printed as a deck of playing cards, designed and fabricated by Kaitlin McCoy.

&#60;img width="1600" height="1600" width_o="1600" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/582865c8085f2734d5a654cbe3cd2b925a70fa245c2e5e8c128ae2dc9504f68f/DSCF8707-b-cropped-sm.jpg" data-mid="72439866" border="0"  src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/582865c8085f2734d5a654cbe3cd2b925a70fa245c2e5e8c128ae2dc9504f68f/DSCF8707-b-cropped-sm.jpg" /&#62;One way this practice impacts
daily life is through its effects on time, or schedule. One cannot choose the how of performance independently of
the where and when. As a fisherman, farmer, or surfer would know, one is
subject to the weather. The
phrase, “weather permitting”, states a limitation but can also serve as a license.&#38;nbsp;



One learns to see the ground and its
features – buildings, hills, trees, bodies of water – in terms of the wind. The
place is the real body of the instrument. Over the course of this practice, a light breeze in a Venetian alley allowed the first overtones to
emerge; in Seyðisfjörður, a failed collaboration with an existing
sound sculpture precipitated various tunings, and the joy of flying in fog;
while in the textured, gusty winds of Iowa, the static charge of
approaching thunderstorms became audible.

All enclosed spaces were at one point “outside,” and are still pervaded
by its existential medium of air, despite erected boundaries. Architectural
interiority is rooted in a pervasive notion of a personal or corporeal
interiority, as though we were looking out from inside our bodies. 



LOOM︎ROOM︎HARP&#38;nbsp;is an installation that 
















questions this notion of interiority and its consequences at corporeal,
architectural, and urban scales by&#38;nbsp;



weaving together inside and outside, near and far, visible and invisible, artifacts of the past and actions in the present, through the space of the Anderson Gallery at Drake University, in Des Moines. This site-specific installation and series of performances took place periodically from September 2 through October 15, 2021, is a collaboration between Fırat Erdim, Paula Matthusen, and Olivia Valentine.
The performances were accessible both in-person and online, via&#38;nbsp;Sunship, the website of the Arts Letters &#38;amp; Numbers 2021 Venice Architecture Biennale Italian Virtual Pavilion.&#38;nbsp; A discussion panel was held on October 30, 2021, by Arts Letters &#38;amp; Numbers.

Walking Harps and Atmospheric Listening StationsRelated to the instruments of the Kite Choir, Walking Harps and Atmospheric Listening Stations explore:
- The aeolian harp as an ‘active’ instrument that one can play, by moving and roaming in relation to the wind.
- The aeolian harp as an instrument with which to make  the dynamic thickness of the atmosphere palpable.

Atmospheric Listening Stations
Tests for the atmospheric listening stations emerged in consideration of the six foot distance between people recommended in the USA during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Plane table survey of the cortile of the American Academy in Rome, and Peregrine Projection tracing of Segovia, 2015.

Peregrine Projections
As the story of Cain and Abel illustrates, the antagonism between the nomadic and the sedentary is rooted in an age-old division between their discrete means of defining territory and ascribing symbolic significance to it. Peregrine Projections is a series of drawings, based on rituals derived from plane table surveying, that use walking to unfold the relationship between the monument and the civic ground of the city.

In the incessant cycles of parades and protests, the many bell towers of Segovia act as navigation points across the city and landscape, structuring routes of procession from plaza to plaza, while the bells count time through day and night. This relationship between the vertical figure and the ground encodes how the significance of monuments and public spaces may be re-activated, or challenged, through ritualized forms of walking. Such ambulatory actions, aimed at claiming and defining territory, are usually collective. In Peregrine Projections, the particular dance with a monument and its territory unfolds through the actions of a solitary individual.

Each drawing is an “automatic cartography,” constructed from photographs taken at regular intervals during a walk, stalking a particular point on the horizon, such as a bell tower, dome, or obelisk. The topography of each drawing is the accumulation of the horizon lines from the set of photographs, projected and traced sequentially. 

The process of tracing is a secondary walk, in the space of the projection, with pencil across the horizon. In this secondary walk, the forms of the landscape and of the architecture echo and merge with each other, creating strange hybrids and juxtapositions. Certain recognizable elements, appearing in each photograph in a different location, embroider their particular rhythm across the landscape. From a distance, only the negative figure of the monument is discernable within a cloud of graphite. Upon approach, individual spaces and moments within the city appear while the city as an image disappears beyond one’s peripheral vision.

Over time, walking in the city became analogous to drawing, as if I were the tip of a pencil moving along the edge of a Mayline or drafting triangle. The anticipation of the drawing started to direct the walk itself, driving me to roam the city through unlikely paths, while remaining tethered to the steeple, dome, or obelisk by the tenuous thread of a sightline.

Metropoliz Future Forest
The marital veil, on this account, was really a map that entwined in its fibers the axes and ordinances of the world. It was not really a covering but a gauze, gossamer, or filigree framework that disclosed the inhabitable landscape, one that had been there but was unknown, meaning the act of veiling resulted in an unveiling […] The nuptial veil made by Zeus [for Chthonia] was an artifact that allowed the earth to become articulate because it – I mean the weave – united subsoil and sky.

This [Achilles's] shield/map was also a dance floor, a choros: on the shield/map the famed god wove a dancing floor like that at Knossos Daedalus fashioned for Ariadne. Homer did not describe the level, lines, or material of this radiant surface – instead, the choreography it traced out, for across its sectional arc he wove together the steps of young dancers […] Making a dancing deck such as this meant making a human textile, a society, a city.

- David Leatherbarrow, "Leveling the Land," 1999.

This project at Metropoliz, a post-industrial heterotopia at the edges of Rome, is a collaboration with Daniel Phillips &#38;amp;&#38;nbsp;Kim Karlsrud of Commonstudio, and Olivia Valentine. It&#38;nbsp;was made possible&#38;nbsp;by a grant from the American Academy in Rome, and support from the Museo dell'Altro e dell'Altrove di Metropoliz&#38;nbsp;(MAAM). Many thanks to Mac Casey, María Robles, Dave McKenzie, Paula Matthusen, Roger Camero, Stefania Tutino, and Adam Kuby, as well as Lukasz Kowalczyk, Leslie Johnson and&#38;nbsp;students from the College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology for volunteering their time so generously.

The perforation of the concrete slab was completed in June, 2015. The project is anticipated to develop over a long span of time, through a sequence of ecological successions.

Subsequent Terrains + Island
Subsequent Terrains emerged from observations of the many-layered landscape and varied history of the Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest, where I was an artist-in-residence in 2014. The title refers to the geological sense of the term “subsequent,” which describes streams shaped by the relative hardness or softness of their underlying geology. The drawings were constructed on plywood surfaces, with the grain running horizontally.&#38;nbsp; This surface was first blanked out by a layer of gesso, and subdivided into equal vertical strips. The blank surface was then removed by sanding selectively, allowing the grain to reemerge in places.&#38;nbsp; Through a series of masks and sprays of ink, the drawings were developed as a weaving between these underlying and overlaid orders.
