They draw viewers into the work\u2019s self-contained universe, with their movements coaxing the spectator to engage with ever-changing perspectives.<\/p>\n<p>The pieces that B-L Duo (Bertram WEE and Lynette YEO) have chosen to perform reflect the qualities of kinetic artworks the compositions eschew traditional musical syntax and spiral in place, creating unique experiences of circular time. In the first piece after gravity, David Lang builds a weightless sculpture in sound \u2013 \u201ca kind of structure that would keep the music from landing anywhere, or at least put the landing off as long as I could.\u201d In contrast, the second piece for melodicas by Weston Olencki features geometric chunks of synthesized sound that are textured by acoustic melodicas. Finally, B-L Duo will also premiere a new work, discoloured slab of meat by Bertram Wee that uses the violence of denatured pianos to construct a monolithic, imposing kinetic structure of sound.<\/p>\n<p>The performance will be broadcasted online via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nationalgallerysg\/videos\/580228246191373\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NGS\u2019 Facebook page<\/a> on 25 Jul 2020 (Sa) at 2.30 PM.
