John Hastings – Hum 789

Live performance of HUM 7 8 9 performed by the audience as part of Make Music New York, June 21, 2012. Performed at the Consolidated Edison Farragut Substation DUMBO Brooklyn, NY.

About: For the third year, participants will gather near the ConEd Farragut Substation in DUMBO to join in a large group hum-a-long. We will use the transformers of the ConEd power station as a drone to create a vibrating, meditative environment while the sun sets over the East River. The event necessitates no musical knowledge, just the ability to hum or sing! A score by John P. Hastings (HUM 7 8 9) will be included for those who have some musical training and would like to extend the sound of the drone.
