Christine Southworth, Zap! Posted: 11 Oct 2013 07:29 AM PDT Classical music certainly not in danger of becoming a museum piece When people complain that classical music is in danger of becoming a museum piece, they’re clearly not thinking about this composer or this museum. Christine Southworth’s debut album was recorded in part at the Boston Museum of Science, where she used not only her voice and the sounds of her friends in the Bang On A Can Ensemble, but also the sounds of the museum’s early electricity-producing devices. A Van Der Graaf Generator and a couple of Tesla Coils provide eerie swoops and glitches, and their rapid oscillating rumblings and occasional snaps as energy is discharged add an element of chance to Southworth’s scores.
