John Chamberlain's Involvement with Abstract Expressionism

Peter Bayne 

Title: "Moirés"

About the Composition: "Moirés" is an exploration of overlapping sensations of time and movement. A visual moiré pattern creates the effect of a rippling, undulating surface while suggesting a larger slower form. In Bayne's piece, instruments play together but slightly off as if performing the same piece in adjoining rooms without a metronome. The feeling is one of time passing at varying rates, like sitting on a corner in New York city watching lives pass you by–some so fast they blur, and some, like nature itself, slow as eternity.

Composer Bio: Peter Bayne has built a critically acclaimed career as a composer, producer, and sound artist for film, television, advertising, theatre, electronic music, and sound art, yielding an expansive body of work in an incredibly wide variety of genres. His work envelopes the listener in the transportive, surreal, and lush fields of a detailed sonic imagination. His concert works, immersive sound art, experimental electronic works, leftfield dance music and avant dream pop have been distributed, streamed, and performed widely. 

His prolific work in the American theatre (over 150 original scores) has garnered him numerous awards and recognition from, among others, the Ovation Awards, the LA Drama Critics Circle, the LA Times, Broadway World, StageRaw, and the LA Weekly. In 2019, Peter started releasing leftfield electronic music under the pseudonym Jann. This work taps into ambient, downtempo, slow techno, and balearic dub touchpoints while maintaining Peter’s signature style as an orchestrator and film score wizard. In 2021, he premiered a massive new immersive & interactive work in collaboration with the "Kusama: Cosmic Nature" exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden. Current projects include: a series of collaborations with motion graphics and animation artists to be released and sold as NFTs, and a new LP to be released in early 2023.
