LAND AND SEA would like to create a 5 lp box set with a book, of the SOUND AND SHAPE PERFORMANCE SERIES.
****SO WE CANT AMEND THE REWARDS ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN PLEDGED UPON, BUT LET IT BE KNOWN THAT A $100 PLEDGE WILL GET YOU A BOXSET AS WELL. THANKS!*****************
Our goal with this kickstarter is to acquire the funds to make a boxset of collected sounds and visuals of a project called SOUND AND SHAPE. The boxset would come with five LP's(each side dedicated to each artists performance) and a comprehensive book that chronicles the construction of the sound sculpture and all of the performances. We feel this project was a vital moment in the connection between visual art and the experimental music scene in San Francisco, and look forward to presenting a beautifully packaged time capsule of these exchanges.

Below is the basic description of the project:
In March of 2011, Guerrero Gallery , located in San Francisco California, hosted the first collaborative effort by artists Jason Michael Leggiere and Chris Duncan. Aptly titled, “Sound and Shape” was an audience participatory and optically challenging sound sculpture based on triangular shapes. The negative space of the sculpture was filled with stretched piano wire (think post-modern harp), intended to be touched, felt or played by visitors. A horn speaker at the base of the sculpture, powered by hand built tube electronics, emitted resulting amplified tones. Resting upon a mirrored floor, the sculpture’s triangular forms were transformed into diamond-like shapes, which viewers could enter, and easily become engulfed by the sonic and visual noise.
Being true to the interactive nature of the sculpture, Duncan and Leggiere reached out to members of the vibrant San Francisco experimental music scene, inviting them to perform in the gallery space, using the sculpture as their instrument or inspiration. All the performances were recorded and documented, and we are left with an urge to share the moments in time that we helped create. Eight events in total took place. Below is a list of dates and performers.
