ABOUT THE CONCERT:
Strange loops and elemental forces propel People Inside Electronics’ second concert of inventive and intense electroacoustic music. Pierre Jodlowski’s Série Blanche stacks layers of gentle piano textures for a cumulative, crushing effect, while Ingram Marshall’s meditative Soe-Pa for amplified classical guitar uses digital delay to build loops and echoes into the fabric of the music itself. Max Ernst’s surrealist collage novel Seven Deadly Elements is the impetus behind Morton Subotnick's monumental large ensemble work The Key to Songs, while air is the animating element of Ben Hackbarth’s open end, which transforms the resonance of the vibraphone into a swirling, enveloping soundscape. The program also showcases two barrier-breaking interdisciplinary creations: Veronika Krausas’ Waterland for tape and live narrator, with video by Quintan Ana Wikswo, text by Andre Alexis, and sound design by Aron Kallay; and the concert debut of Alexandre François’ and Elaine Chew’s Mimi (Multimodal Interaction for Musical Improvisation), an innovative and interactive system for human-machine improvisation that intelligently recombines an improviser's creations as impetus for new improvisations.
