In conjunction with the opening of There was earth in them, and they dug., Miriam Gallery is pleased to present a newly commissioned composition by Leo Hardman-Hill in response to the prompt "structure/fluidity." The performance will take place in the exhibition space at 6PM and 7:45PM. Hardman-Hill no hits music, yanks win 1-0 on the strength of 12 whole tones! Using a structure structured in close partnership with fluidity, Hardman-Hill, with methods drawn from his "distracted undistracted period," positively flummoxed music's batters at the plate, whose scouting reports on Hardman-Hill had told them to expect him to "stick to the plan." But stick to the plan he would not, as Hardman-Hill instead changed speeds on them like a young Sandy Koufax, and by the end he had not only stuck to the plan, but unstuck, stuck again, called for help, demanded no help, and finally, in the mess of baseball we call life, bewildered batters with music his teammates could only describe as "off speed."
