Microscope is excited to present an evening of live sound by NY-based artists, musicians and composers Anthony Vine and Daniel Fishkin. The event will take place both in person at the gallery and live-streamed on our website.

The approximately 60-minute concert by Vine and Fishkin consists of an improvised live performance of the music they composed for the documentary film Sound Spring by Catalina Alvarez. Their score blends electric guitar, saxophone, and Arbrasson with location sounds recorded in the town of Yellow Springs, Ohio, such as “forest humming, traffic passing, transformers buzzing, water moving, and people speaking.” Images in the listeners’ minds are summoned by the shifting everyday sounds, in this special rendition of the soundtrack.

Anthony Vine is a composer and artist living in New York City. His work centers around spirituality, beauty, and sound itself. Vine's music has been presented internationally by music and art institutions, like Carnegie Hall, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Ultima Festival, Lévy Gorvy, and The Pulitzer Arts Foundation, and performed by orchestras, chamber ensembles, and musicians, like Quatuor Bozzini, Gareth Davis, Longleash, The Minnesota Orchestra, and Yarn/Wire, and released on labels, like Cassauna/Imprec, Cantaloupe, Galtta Media, and Kuyin. He is the recipient of the 2024 Rome Prize in Musical Composition at the American Academy in Rome. 

Daniel Fishkin’s ears are ringing. Daniel studied with Maryanne Amacher and with multi-instrumentalist Mark Stewart. Daniel’s lifework investigating the aesthetics of hearing damage has received international press; as an ally in the search for a cure, he has been awarded the title of “tinnitus ambassador” by the Deutsche Tinnitus-Stiftung. He is the only luthier that studied directly with the daxophone’s inventor, Hans Reichel. Recent research includes the Arbrasson, a French idiophone resembling of a notched log, which when rubbed, emits birdsong. Daniel received his MA in Music Composition from Wesleyan University, and has taught electronic music at Bard College, NYU and, Ramapo College.
