Six Things #6 for Henri Vaxby by John Lely (4:10-4:45pm EST)  On the 19th of February, 2005, John Lely, composed Things #6 for Henri Vaxby. The instructions (for analogue clock and guitar) are as follows: “When the second hand of the clock crosses the hour hand, play a note. When the second hand crosses the minute hand, play a harmonic.” By coincidence, on the 19th of February, 2006, Seth Kim-Cohen composed Six Things #6 for Henri Vaxby by John Lely. The instructions – for analogue clock, guitar, microphone and multi-track recording device – call for six five-minute performances of John Lely’s Things #6 for Henri Vaxby. The first thing is recorded. Then the second thing is also recorded, while the recording of the first thing is played back. The third thing is recorded, while the recordings of the first and second things are played back. You get the idea. By the time the sixth thing is recorded, it is accompanied by the previous five things. ABOUT SETH KIM-COHEN
