Rhythm Wars - Crazy Army, Camille Norment, 2012
Sixteen empty oil drums resonate with deep slow tones that simultaneously recall the rings and drones of tibetan singing bowls and the mysterious sounds heard inside ships, while the lids rumble and rattle to the contrasting rhythm of drum solo “Crazy Army”. The experience is a reverberant and penetrating reflection on musical and social rhythm. This work was commissioned by the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo for their fall 2012 exhibition, I Wish This Was a Song.
