Ear-Drum
David Cossin and David Sheppard
The New York Art Ensemble presents legendary percussionist
David Cossin (New York) and sound designer David Sheppard (London) in an
extraordinary “Live Installation.”  The idea of Live Installation becomes the catalyst
for this collaboration. By crossing the lines between live performance and sound
installation, each event takes on new shape depending on the environment, live
sound processing, video, and performance. Sound takes on a physical presence,
as a sculpture, evolving and moving within the space. Cossin and Sheppard perform
works by some of the most influential composers of our time, including Yoav Gal,
Michael Gordon, Steve Reich, James Tenney, David Cossin, and David Sheppard.  

Tickets $20; students & seniors $12, for reservations go to
