Situated at the interaction of art, architecture, music, mathematics, cosmology and science, Matthew Ritchies The Morning Line is a 33-foot high sound pavilion, constructed in aluminum and conceived in part as a successor to Edgard Varse and Le Corbusiers pavilion for the 1958 Worlds Fair, and Fritz Bornemanns Expo 70 Pavilion. Designed in collaboration with New York-based architects Aranda Lasch, the Arup Advanced Geometry Unit and the Music Research Centre of York University, the structure was inspired by the cosmological theories of Paul Steinhardt and Neil Turok, and offered a sonic environment in which newly commissioned works by well-known musicians were performed. This survey of the project includes a book containing Todd Eberles photographs of the structure, a poster, a newspaper and a red vinyl LP with music by contemporary electronica musicians such as Alexej Borisov, Tommi Grnlund, Petteri Nisunen, Christian Fennesz, Carsten Nicolai, Zsolt Olejnik, Finnbogi Petursson, Franz Pomassl, Terre Thaemlitz and Zavoloka.
