@kakigram & @tamareisenman Present: Sei
City Winery NYCHudson River Park Esplanade, New York 10014
Kaki King and Tamar Eisenman present Sei at City Winery NYC. The work is built around 16 guitars, forming what City Winery calls a “constellation of sound.” Rather than a conventional band set, its music is composed through choreographed movement: each note is born from physical motion. The evening centers on that relationship between gesture, instrument and sound.
Sei is the project name for King and Eisenman’s collaboration, rather than one of the unrelated artists also called Sei. The available information identifies the project through its 16-guitar design and movement-based composition, with no conventional lineup or hometowns specified. City Winery describes the work’s core as music made through choreography, giving the performance a physical framework as much as a musical one. No supplied sources establish further collaborators, a broader career history for the project, or published reviews, so this appearance is best approached on the terms its creators set out: a constructed field of guitars and movement, with sound generated in real time through the players’ actions.
City Winery at Pier 57 is a restaurant winery with live music on an intimate stage, offering a full evening experience that combines dinner, wine, and live music. The venue features two performance spaces: a seated 350-seat concert hall and a smaller 150-capacity loft space, with a 100-seat restaurant including a pizza bar and coffee roasting station. Guests enjoy views of the Hudson River and Pier 57, located in Chelsea on Manhattan’s west side, near Chelsea Market. The intimate setting allows audiences to experience performances up close in a seated environment, with a diverse lineup including national touring artists, singer-songwriters, jazz musicians, and comedy shows.
