Noguchi: Sculpture and Nature (Kevin Noble)Song Shapes
If this collection of songs were a sculpture exhibit, you'd see large, branching forms, little curlicues, boxes-within-boxes, daintily shaped human figures, welded girders, and unchiseled blocks of marble. On exhibit are songs by people who are offering new options for the shape of songs: Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice, Alvin Curran, Little Wings, Becky Stark, Ana Moura, Islaja, Elephant Micah, Diane Cluck, Amy Kohn, and others.
