Lampo presents Andrew Lampert and Chris Corsano perform Lampert’s Intraday, one of the text scores in the Lampo Folio, at the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts in Chicago on Saturday, April 2 2022 at 12pm.
Intraday is a musical study of Spotify’s stock fluctuation between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. on May 13, 2021. The work is a structured improvisation performed in accordance with the ups and downs of the stock price, as represented by 92 line charts in the score. Performers are presented with a wide range of tactics to guide them through a small amount of musical space.
The Lampo Folio is a collection of text-based scores by ten interdisciplinary artists who are all engaged on some level with sound and language. Each commissioned work provides written instructions that can be used to enact a personal, possibly intimate performance at home. Lampert is a co-editor and contributor to the collection.
Today’s concert coincides with the hour Intraday was composed, and it is presented in the domestic context of the Graham Foundation’s Madlener House, which was a home from 1902-1963. Lampert and Corsano also note they are being paid more than the musicians and musical rights holders on Spotify who earn between $0.003 to $0.005 a stream.
