Éliane Radigue Occam Ocean is an ongoing series of solo and ensemble pieces, which Radigue composed for individual instrumentalists. In these, a performer’s personal technique and particular relationship to their instrument function as the compositional material of the piece. The “Knights of the Occam,” as Radigue refers to the performers participating in the project, are musicians who have developed individualistic, creative approaches to their instruments; the resulting compositions are specific to those performers, rather than to their instruments. Citing the ocean as a calming antidote to the overwhelming nature of our vibratory wave-filled surroundings, Radigue has titled the tributary components of her Occam series with the image of fluid water in mind. For their performance at Pace Gallery, musicians Charles Curtis, Rhodri Davies, Dafne Vicente-Sandoval, and Robin Hawyard will perform various combinations of solo pieces (Occams), duo pieces (Rivers), and larger ensemble pieces (Deltas), in varying configurations during each night of the program.Occam Ocean is part of a year-long Éliane Radigue retrospective curated by Lawrence Kumpf and Charles Curtis and developed in collaboration with Éliane Radigue for Blank Forms, a non-profit organization in New York dedicated to supporting emerging and underrepresented artists working in a range of time-based and interdisciplinary art practices.
