CAROLINE PARTAMIAN and DEREK MONYPENY — HARMONIC 486
Rescheduled to February 28, 2026
Integratron, 2477 Belfield Blvd, Landers, CA 92285

George van Tassel drew inspiration from the harmonic relationships between the Integratron and the Great Pyramid at Giza, as outlined by world grid theory expert Bruce Cathie in a 1977 issue of Proceedings. Partamian has composed a graphic musical score using Cathie’s grid positioning breakdown of the Integratron which she and musician Derek Monypeny will independently interpret and perform. Their stringed instruments reference the Integratron’s original copper spiral designed to charge the cells of visitors to the building. The title refers to the “harmonics of time” in Cathie’s essay.

About the artists:

Caroline Partamian is a sound and visual artist who explores the concept of abreaction — the extraction of dormant memory stored within a muscle, resurfaced through physical movement. Her work has taken on the form of compositions, graphic notations, choreography, books, and more. She co-founded the experimental community-based radio station Other Desert Radio as well as the Armenian Creatives group and runs a small publishing press, Weird Babes.

Derek Monypeny, born in the Arizona desert, a veteran of multiple explorations into the Sahara desert, and now a resident of the Mojave, sees his musical mission as adding to and expanding on what he calls the “desert continuum” — the psychedelic sirocco swirl of desert-based stringed instruments played by musicians the world over.
