7/14 Baseball Day to Day

Baseball Day to Day
Walker Art Center // July 10 – 17
I’ve always loved baseball. And I’ve always loved experimental music. So, now they are together during my residency at the Walker. Other musicians have loved baseball before – like Charles Ives, Milton Babbitt, and John Luther Adams – but only I have the profound lack of foresight to slam the two together in such reckless and inelegant ways. So, be prepared for incidental organ works in and around the museum, meditative whittling of an amplified baseball bat, the building of a baseline in honor of LaMonte Young, and a public game of backyard catch.

Play Catch, All Together
Grab your glove and join artist Chris Kallmyer and Twins organist Sue Nelson for a work focused on the sound of people playing catch alongside a baseball stadium organ. Participants are invited to oil their gloves, do some light stretching, and throw around a lemon as warm-up—an homage to Fluxus artist Ken Friedman. Afterwards, have freshly-squeezed lemonade, meet Sue, and take home a well-oiled glove and a copy of Chris’ score for Play Catch, All Together.
