“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

Sound artists Stephan Moore and Scott Smallwood began performing as the duo Evidence in 2001. Focusing on the universe of real-world sound, Evidence pours field recordings like water into their compositional and improvisational process, resulting in music that balances between tight organization and unregulated flow. Using recording equipment, laptops, and other electronic devices, Evidence creates music that deals with gradual change, improvised over time, sometimes atmospheric, sometimes pulsating, always texturally striking and unique.
