Elliot Bergman’s (@elliotbergman) show at @shanecampbellgallery and later virtual performance today. Felt like a fitting encore performance for a thoughtful space that will be very missed. #elliotbergman #shanecampbellgallery https://www.instagram.com/p/CF3ciWYF-gV/?igshid=1m781nyrr6y5u

In the chapel at Mercado Sagrado this year we’re please to present a unique site-specific installation by @elliotbergman of his peace bells and sound sculptures. For the past few years, Bergman has been melting down guns and bullet casings and transforming them into peace bells or sound vessels. He will be performing on these instruments with long-time collaborator Erik Hall. The music created ranges from meditative and trance-like, to a raucous, maximalist, gamelan-inspired freak out. . Elliot Bergman is a musician and visual artist living in Los Angeles. Since studying jazz, composition, and gamelan music at the University of Michigan, he has been an active part of the creative music scenes in Brooklyn and Chicago, while touring extensively with groups including Wild Belle, NOMO, Iron and Wine, and His Name is Alive. Elliot’s musical and visual art practices are uniquely intertwined: he often builds the instruments that form the basis for many of the compositions in Wild Belle and NOMO—electrified variations on the African mbira. Indulging his interest in metal work, he has been producing bronze sound vessels and sound sculptures since 2012. . Stop by the chapel anytime during Mercado Sagrado to experience the installation as well as for one of the special performances which will take place Saturday & Sunday at 1pm & 3pm. . . . #elliotbergman #peacebells #soundsculpture #sitespecific #mercadosagradoexperience #wildbelle #transformation #peace #soundhealing (at Malibu Canyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoGFo_OgArX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ofqojtqet0uw
