An Evening at the Intersect of Art & Science
On December 15th, we’ll be celebrating the vinyl release of the William Is album, “LISTEN EVERY DAY”, which features music theory derived from The Golden Ratio. Keeping with the theme of the mathematics of nature, William will also be reading selections from The Platypus Letters, a collection of his Platonic Solid Poetry.
“Building music and poetry based on the math of nature comes easy for me. For me it affords a connection to something much larger than myself. Some people find this function by participating in religion. Some find theirs amidst the throbbing beat of the club dance floor. For others, it’s as easy as looking up at the silver stars against the evening sky,” William says.
“I find the art of creation can be a dance with nature itself- and what better steps to follow than the sequence unfurled in the spiral of a nautilus shell? What better rhythm to step than the ratios inherent in a single molecule of water? In this work I find meaning, and in these numbers I too can participate in the song of the universe. Along my way I hope to create words and music in which others might find a bit of meaning themselves.”
To complement the words and music, we’ve invited friend and fellow artist Gregory Hyder to display his abstract paintings. Greg will also be painting live along to the music, creating an original work on the fly.
We’ll also be holding a raffle to benefit local mental health organization, THRESHOLDS.
Join us for a fantastic evening at the intersect of art and science! It’s all going down at Esquina Chicago at 4602 N. Western Ave.
