Interference Series Presents: Timber by Beyond This Point

From Chicago-based ensemble Beyond This Point, Reclaimed Timber is a sonic portrait of US cities’ unique histories and relationships with their natural environments.

Reclaimed Timber, an original production from Chicago ensemble Beyond This Point, asks just this question. Six percussionists play on six pieces of wood for an entire hour, allowing hypnotic rhythms and undulating waves of sound to crest and fall into each other. The planks of wood came directly from trees in the surrounding area, and each piece reveals more and more complexity – more tones, more timbres, and more history – over the course of Reclaimed Timber.

Presented by the Interference Series in collaboration with NAU Percussion Studies, NAU Honors College, and the McAllister CEED (Climate, Education, Engagement, and Design) Program at NAU. Made possible with generous support from John & Lynn Sheik.
