KenKen GS is a new installation work that continues Galbraith’s exploration of a tightly-coupled yet non-linear and generative relationship between image and sound.
The work’s compositional basis includes the structure and expanded numerical content of four KenKen puzzles, historical color scales that propose different mappings from musical pitch to color hue, and 15 resonant acoustic frequencies taken from various locations within Gridspace.
KenKen GS is generated in real-time by custom software, and features abstract graphics formatted with reference to the wooden grid of 12 two-foot-square “cubicles” normally used for exhibitions at the Gridspace storefront gallery. The piece has a linear temporal structure and loops after the 19-minute video animation sequence completes.

Composition 2010 ETC (video excerpt)
April 9, 2011
Composition 2010 ETC is a single-channel video (duration 4:08) created from footage shot at the Experimental Television Center (ETC) studio during my 2010 residency. Using analog video modules that can convert audio waveforms into video signals I recorded 30 minutes of attempts to draw a straight horizontal line across the video screen using my custom analog synthesizer modules. This “straight line” action has been a motivation behind other works of mine and references the score of American composer La Monte Young’s Composition 1960 No. 10 which reads “draw a straight line and follow it”. My Composition 2010 ETC edits this tightly integrated sound/image footage down to a four-minute mix. By including ETC in the title of the work I wanted to pay homage to the Experimental Television Center studio which closed in June, 2011 after a forty-year history as an important center for experimental video work.
