The Fuel And Lumber Company Presents...
Jane Cassidy, Music For Cars At Night On Country Roads
Driving at night outside of the city presents a very distinct atmosphere. The tempo of traffic passing by, the static of the night sky and the textures of the landscape all provide an immersive environment. Music For Cars At Night On Country Roads is an immersive audio visual installation where the audience are invited into a 2008 Chrysler Town and County Van. A saturating 30 minute musical score plays through the stereo system while synchronized videos of night driving are projected onto the windshield.
