Imagining Tellus # 28 references and pays homage to this important project as an imagined twenty-eighth tape titled: Heard in LA. As curator, Tom Leeser reaches beyond the tapes’ original geographical limits of New York to current artists working within the vibrant and active experimental soundscape of Los Angeles.
These new works will not be published as a cassette however, rather they will be exhibited at Harvestworks in New York and then archived and available for streaming online. The imagined Tellus #28 includes emerging and mid-career artists that are exploring new forms of digitally produced sound works extracted from interdisciplinary practices that fuse poetry, electronic composition, improvised music and performance into an assemblage of beautiful antagonisms. Heard in LA will inject the original collective spirit of the Tellus Project into an updated “downtown” and “uncommon” networked space for future reference.
