RiverSound

RiverSound project was a photography exhibit and live ambient music performance by photographer Matt Lester and musician Jason Mundok. The photographs are a series of industrial landscapes of the lower Mississippi River that include ships and refineries, shot mostly at night in a very cinematic light, causing dramatic reflections on the black water. Some of the photos are black and white and others have splashes of color amidst a majority of black space.

The musical performance was recorded at the exhibit opening with a dozen or so 20 x 30 prints of the photographs on March 6, 2015 at The Arch, an art gallery and cooperative art studio space in Lancaster, PA. This 15 minute set of ambient soundscapes was performed by Mundok three times through the evening as accompaniment for an animated slideshow of more than two dozen images.
