About
About:
“SUAHUAB” is a long étude recorded by Chaz “Chem XP” Washington; composed of serialist synthesizer studies, textural research of percussive instruments hand-built by the artist, and a generally spiritual animation of machine sounds. The piece stands as an ode to The Bauhaus school of thought and design.
As such, it pronounces an architectural structure to house the abstract and liminal. All concepts flow freely within the space, indicative of The Bauhaus itself.
Bauhaus concepts explored:
Industrial bricolage texture-sculptures doubling as instruments (locally sourced)
Balanced asymmetry
Functional and holistic (sound) shapes
Purposefully minimal/liminal architecture
Machine-forward aesthetic
