Fleeting and Aftermath are two bodies of work celebrating the fragile and ephemeral experiences that leave profound and lasting emotional imprints. The music on the lower level of Durand will enhance the experience for visitors in the Sonnenschein and Albright Galleries, which are on the third floor of Durand.

Carol Genetti is a vocalist/composer whose work encompasses sound and visual art media. Her palette is primordial, existing in a space where “language” and “music” have yet to be formulated into familiar cultural patterns. She combines various devices with her vocal performances as she “refracts and abrades her wordless vocals with electronics” (Bill Meyer, The Wire). She has performed extensively with many improvising musicians, including Jack Wright, Eric Leonardson, Peter Maunu, Olivia Block, Jim Baker and many others. Recent recordings include a duet with claire rousay "Live at Elastic Arts" (Astral Spirits) and a collaborative release with visual artist Gwyneth Zeleny Anderson “Chyme" (Suppedaneum).  

“I think of my vocal work as expressing a fragility of the human experience. The corporeal relationship of voice to body can be immediately experienced by the listener as a human interaction and also as something coming from one's own bodily existence. I'm interested in this human fragility of the voice but also in blurring the line between that fragility and the more mechanical sounds created by synthesis.”
