DURATIONS: An Evening with Terre Thaemlitz [Live Piano] + Conversation with Ciarán Finlayson

Presented in collaboration with Triple Canopy at Roulette Intermedium.

The legendary house producer, DJ, and writer Terre Thaemlitz [aka DJ Sprinkles] will perform her first composition for solo piano live at Roulette. The performance will be followed by a conversation with Triple Canopy contributing editor Ciarán Finlayson, who will speak with Thaemlitz about her music as well as her criticism, which often takes up the defects of a culture industry that offers artists “exposure” instead of wages.

Triple Canopy is committed to cultivating unconventional, unassimilated forms of thought and expression, and to meaningfully supporting the people who produce them. The magazine collaborates with contributors on artworks, essays, fictions, conversations, performances, and books [among other media] from conception to realization, navigating the digital and physical realms where ideas and audiences take shape. In doing so, Triple Canopy strives to not only analyze but alter the structures that influence whose voices are heard, whose stories are circulated, and whose experiences are valued.
