This presentation examines the ways in which performance virtuosity, which in many ways came to maturity in the 19th century, is still a living part of musical styles and practices being created today, and how it will may be so in the near future.
By Isaac Schankler
This will be a hands-on workshop for creating video games -- yes, video games -- in Ableton Live and Max for Live. The time syntax and visual programming capabilities of Live and Max together make an excellent environment for quickly prototyping rhythm games, where timing and sound quality is crucial. We'll create and experiment with a set of Max for Live devices that accept and interpret player input in various ways, and briefly delve into visualization possibilities with Jitter. Workshop assumes some previous experience with Max.
Featuring Michal, Ogilvie, Schuette<>Sommerfeldt Duo, Fefferman, Ko, Ivanova, Bendrick, Misurell-Mitchell, McClure, and Leach.
Featuring Flynn, Cross, Thorner, Hundeshausen, Lough, Micchelli, Van Zandt Lane, Snyder, Yang, Biggs, Even, Munden-Dixon, and Peacock
The three members of SPLICE Ensemble, Keith Kirchoff (piano), Adam Vidiksis (percussion), and Sam Wells (trumpet), will discuss the commissioning of composer Caroline Louise Miller and the process of her piece’s realization. Miller describes this process, which resulted in her composition Ansible, as “a year-long, extremely rewarding collaboration with SPLICE Ensemble.” The ensemble will also delve into the literary inspirations for the work, and how Miller uses various literary devices from Le Guin’s writing to inform her own manipulation of musical materials - both acoustic and electronic.
