The series of pieces called “perception” all involve human judgments concerning the duration and volume of sounds.
The judgments fall outside of the realm of simple intuitive measurement — and enter into a region where quantitative decisions shade into qualitative. While each piece presents a different challenge to the performer(s), they all become increasingly difficult as the duration (of the piece) becomes longer.
Performed by: Lewis Keller, Cat Lamb, James Orsher, Michael Pisaro and Cassia Streb.
