VAST IS THE SEA: A CONVERSATION WITH GAVIN WATTS

A mini-series featuring artists participating in VAST IS THE SEA curated by PSO fro Co-Lab Projects in Austin, Texas

This week I spoke with Gavin Watts of the Answers, The Reformers, and countless other bands. This episode continues our series of conversations with artists participating in VAST IS THE SEA a series of eight presentations from artists whose diverse works are united by their explorations of images, sound, and community presented by Co-Lab Projects in Austin, Texas curated by PSO.

Gavin  will present his work, Motel Myths at 8pm , Saturday, February 17th

Each event is ticketed separately. 

You can purchase tickets on a sliding scale starting at $5 at https://withfriends.co/event/17182339/vast_is_the_sea

Gavin is no stranger to the podcast or PSO. You can hear him talk about his collaboration with PSO as part of the soundtrack duo The Reformers with Alex Kanan on PSO podcast no.213

Co-Lab is a legendary art space whose current configuration is a 40 x 10 x 10-foot concrete culvert sitting on an open plot of land just east of the city. The culvert will be awash in projections and stereo sounds on either end of the ceiling. The floor covered in a sea of moving blankets.

Viewers/listeners are invited to lay next to the performers occupying the center to become a raft in an ocean of sounds gazing at a visionary sky.
