Curious Music is pleased to announce the next exhibition of Tim Story’s Moebius Strips audio installation – December 3rd and 4th at the Villa Aurora in Pacific Palisades, California.

Moebius Strips is American composer/sound artist Tim Story’s unique homage to the musical legacy of his late friend Dieter “Moebi” Moebius- an immersive audio sculpture inspired by Story’s decades-long friendship with the influential Swiss/German electronic musician. Working with Moebius’ widow Irene, Story collected thousands of his sounds, noises, samples and loops, and reimagined/recomposed these into intricate ‘strips’. Out of the context of their original settings, they combine in new and ever-evolving layers on the installation’s soundstage, inviting listeners to discover in their own ways Moebius’ engagingly skewed sonic playground.

Channeling Moebius’s pioneering use of texture and rhythm, Story and distinguished collaborators including Geoff Barrow (Portishead), Jean-Benoit Dunckel (Air), Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), Sarah Davachi, Michael Rother (NEU!), explore Moebius’ unique audio universe in the Moebius Strips – prodding, as Moebi did, at our preconceptions of context, perception and composition.

Sound Artist Felix Kubin, current artist-in-residence at the Villa Aurora, will be joining us for the exhibition and will collaborate with Story on a new ‘Strip’ specific to the event. He will also participate in a discussion with Story about Moebius and the Strips project, and perform on his unique invention, the lichtscanner.
