The Former World - a presentation

John P. Hastings & Benjamin Mayock

The Former World is an adaptation of John McPhee's storied tome on American geologic history. A movie, a reading, a seance.

Brick Aux

<p>Hastings &amp; Mayock’s The Former World presents a snapshot of our geologic present inspired by John McPhee’s storied tome Annals of the Former World. To create this work, Hastings and Mayock retraced McPhee’s journey across the American landscape documenting the geologic life of the American West through the extraction of natural materials in industrial and often violent ways. With video, objects, guitars, and electronics the composers propose that our time alive becomes another layer in this ever changing earth clock. Sounds from the new LP release, Songs Crystals Drones, are woven throughout the performance.</p>
