To celebrate CUAG’s 25th anniversary and Carleton University’s 75th anniversary, CUAG has commissioned Jesse Stewart, an award-winning musician, sound artist, community builder and Carleton music professor, to create a series of live performances and sound installations. These performances are happening inside Stewart’s portable geodesic dome, set up at different sites on the Carleton campus throughout 2017.

Turning the Tables, Stewart’s second performance, takes place at CUAG, from 7 to 8 p.m. on March 27th. Stewart’s performance will consist of multiple record players converted into kinetic sound sculptures. Visitors are welcome to interact with the installation, changing the volume and speed of each turntable in a co-creative improvisatory musical performance.

Jesse Stewart is renowned for his inventive and inclusive performances on a wide variety of percussion instruments, including many of his own design and built out of such materials as ice, cardboard, stone and glass.
