Anthony Ptak’s sixteen-channel polyphonic theremin performance The End of Music was performed on the occasion of Points in a Circle: Site-Specific Works for the Hemispheres at Issue Project Room in July 2006, curated by Suzanne Fiol and Stephan Moore. Ptak states: "I recognize the end of music. As an artist I establish a relation without enforcing a relation. An audience, that is to say, a public, ought never be captive. A space can be transformed by the unfamiliar in an arena of recognition. The work is the connection made by the receiver of information, the transmission is the catalyst for this exchange. My expectations are to modulate the signal of infrastructure, to utilize simple means to produce complex results. The theremin is electromagnetism, ether made present in the modulation of transformative wave energy that inducts and traces an exponential axis of gestural interference. The frequency of oscillation along a unified temporal axis reflects a recursive bridging of distance in a soundscape of interference. We listen to the world as a system of associative indices. Sound is a physical axis that occupies and transforms space. The heterophony of the theremin antenna is navigation."
