In partnership with the HYPHAFEST, we are presenting a special 12 Minutes Max program guest-curated by HYPHA.
Golden Letters is an experimental chamber noise project comprised of multi-instrumentalists Jordan Fairbanks and Scott Wasilewski. Together they use cellos, pianos and a number of other electronic instruments to craft a unique collage of sonic interactions. The resulting long form compositions explore both highly structured arrangements as well as process driven harmonic interactions that create an ethereal and cinematic setting.
My name Is Kell, also known as auddvisual. I’m curious about chaos, order, and the forms and patterns that emerge at the line between them. Using liquid light, analog feedback, and generative systems, often paired with sound, I aim to mirror the underlying/fundamental motions of nature.
RIFF TKR is a cello looping project created to explore sound and workshop larger compositions. The project often includes repeating musical lines and experimentation with sound manipulation.
HYPHAFEST is a music festival but also something else. A highly curated time and place where guests can experience 23 local live music acts, local visual arts, local vendors, and community organizations in ways they haven't been able to before. 23 local musical groups and artists have been asked to include one daring or brave element into their performances.
HYPHAFEST is happening Oct 10–11 at the Art Castle (915 W. 100 S. SLC, UT 84104)
12 Minutes Max is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and colleague Paul Reynolds: artist, librarian, and patron of the arts. The 12 Minutes Max program is a curated monthly performance series featuring experimental short works by local artists in many different disciplines, including dance, music, film, and more. Each piece is followed by a Q&A with the artist. 12MM is modeled after the program originated by On the Boards in Seattle.

About the branch
Salt Lake City's Main Library, designed by internationally-acclaimed architect Moshe Safdie in conjunction with VCBO Architecture, opened in February 2003 and remains one of the most architecturally unique structures in Utah. This striking 240,000 square-foot structure houses more than 500,000 books and other materials, yet serves as more than just a repository of books and computers. It reflects and engages the city's imagination and aspirations. The structure embraces a public plaza, with shops and services at ground level, reading galleries above, and a 300-seat auditorium.
A multi-level reading area along the Glass Lens at the southern facade of the building looks out onto the plaza with stunning views of the city and Wasatch Mountains beyond. Spiraling fireplaces on four floors resemble a column of flame from the vantage of 200 East and 400 South. The Urban Room between the Library and the Crescent Wall is a space for all seasons, generously endowed with daylight and open to magnificent views.
