An excerpt from a performance at Sector 2337 in November 2014, during which Billie Howard performed a score by Joseph Clayton Mills. Two framed works by Joseph Grigely hang on the brick wall. This event took place during a group exhibit, The New [New] Corpse. According to Mill's score, Howard was to gather a variety of objects on, ranging in size, fragility, value, and sentimentality; she was to then push the objects off the table "as musically as possible." The score additionally calls for everything to be swept up afterwards. Howard's performance was about 20 minutes. The sound of the sweeping action was additionally potent, as were the sounds of the coins, pennies, papers and disks getting poured from a dust pan into a trash can. Billie Howard is a Chicago-based pianist, violinist and educator. As an adjunct Professor of Piano at Concordia University, she is dedicated to sharing her pedagogical knowledge of music theory and technique as well as encouraging her students in their artistic and musical expression. As a performer, she is inspired by contemporary music on the farthest ends of the volume spectrum, ranging from the quietest sounds to fully-amplified extremes. She frequently works in collaboration, often with one of her groups: The Paver, NbN Trio, a.pe.ri.od.ic, Aptera Strings and Girl Group Chicago. http://www.billiejeanhoward.com/about/
