“Points in a Circle: Site-Specific Works for the Hemispheres at Issue project Room”
A month-long program that features new, site-specific work presented on IPR’s 16-Channel Hemispherical Speaker System
Miguel Frasconi will be presenting “An Orchestra of Orchestras: The Rite Project #3.” Frasconi continues his series of reimagining Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, this time with 16 different recordings of the 20th century masterpiece played simultaneously through Stephan Moore’s 16 speaker system.
Miguel Frasconi is a composer, improvisor and sound artist who uses glass objects, electronics, keyboards, and devolved instruments to create music that sounds from a uniquely imagined tradition. His recent collaborations include new works with choreographer Alonzo King, electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick, and the new music ensemble Gamelan Son of Lion. His background includes work with John Cage, Brian Eno, Jon Hassell, and James Tenney, and studies ranging from the music of South India and Indonesia to the Dada and Fluxus movements.
Jane Scarpantoni will explore the interactive capabilities between themselves and the Issue Project Room’s amazing 16 point-in-the-round sound system, brainchild of Stephen Moore, who will aid and abet them in drawing sonic circles around YOU. Come, be immersed…
Jane Scarpantoni has transformed the Cello into a new instrument. Her work with the Lounge Lizards, Patti Smith, Lou Reed and many others is enjoyed the universe over.
