Jennie C. Jones: RPM (revolutions per minute) is a limited edition 45 RPM single that brings together two commissioned audio collages from the artist’s 2018 exhibition at The Glass House. The sound works respond to the Philip Johnson–designed Glass House (1949) and Sculpture Gallery (1970). "revolutions per minute" employs a harmonious combination of solfeggio frequencies that considers the aural environment of the Glass House. In "Year of Construction: 1970," the aforementioned sound carries over as an undertone and is transformed by a counterpoint of predominantly black sonic practices from the year 1970, including Alice Coltrane, Alvin Singleton, Milford Graves, and Yusef Lateef. 45 RPM singles were first introduced in the same year that the Glass House was constructed.
