FIGHT SONG

FIGHT SONG

FIGHT SONG is an installation and performance featuring a National College Athletic Association (NCAA) marching band performing sonic meditations. The project examines themes of healing, injury, and labor in football, drawing from legacies of sonic therapy.

FIGHT SONG materializes in two forms: as a sculptural installation and as a halftime-style performance. The installation works like an immersive musical composition featuring an ecosystem of automated sonic sculptures made from salvaged marching band instruments. As audiences come into the gallery, they enter a constellation of invented instruments suspended from above and around them – like an exploded technical drawing of a marching band.

Parallel with the installation, the project includes a series of video works featuring an NCAA marching band performing sonic healing meditations in public spaces.
