Sound Memory

In a world that can be recorded, rewound, fast-forwarded and replayed, how do we experience the present? Reshaped and retold through recollection and physical impulse, Sound Memory illuminates a world to be remembered. Sound Memory was commissioned by Danspace Project at St. Mark's Church New York, NY where it premiered March 19th, 2009.

2009, 55 minutes, 3 performers

Music: personal, shared, found, created, recycled, borrowed, and restored
Sound Design: Stephan Moore

Mr. Barnett has found a reason not just to dance, but also to make dances, and in doing so he’s cultivated a potent sound memory for the present.
- New York Times

Julian Barnett's brilliant "Sound Memory" doesn't leave the dance open to our imagination, it explores what an imagination does with what gets handed to it.... Sometimes the dance is in real time and sometimes it has the smooth patina of dream-memory. It is the raw and the cooked together.
