A museum of medieval art hosts an ultracontemporary concert series—on screens now

"I was interested in showing the depth and breadth of electronic music," says Limor Tomer, general manager of Live Arts at the Met and curator of the Sonic Cloisters, an electronicmusic series featuring the pulseraising works of Lost Souls of Saturn, Jlin, and Dubfire, which will roll out on the Met's website and social platforms monthly through August.

The through line between the performances, Tomer says, is "the deep connection between the music and the art"—paintings, illuminated texts, sculpture, tapestries, and four French cloisters brought to their current location in New York's Washington Heights in 1938. Each musician chose a different area of the museum in which to film, from an intimate stone gallery to a vast space housing iconic sculptures, says Tomer; perfectly varied settings for the music's "layered, complex compositional structures."
