CD Release Party:
Stephan Moore’s “To Build A Field”
Sunday, April 12, 2009
With performances by Evidence, video artist RoseRose, and a special guest set!
Stephan Moore’s new CD, To Build A Field has been released on Pauline Oliveros’s Deep Listening Catalog. The CD collects six works Moore composed for choreographers, documenting his contributions to music for modern dance from 2002 to 2008. Copies of the CD will be available at the event for a reduced price.
To celebrate its release, Moore will be joined by two longtime collaborators: Scott Smallwood (the other half of the duo Evidence) and video artist RoseRose. They will perform a set of improvised pieces, including work from their newest project, “Losperus”, that will make use of ISSUE’s 15-channel Hemisphere speaker system. A set by special guest performers will close the evening.

In 2006 and 2007, he co-curated the month-long Points in a Circle festival at Issue Project Room in Brooklyn. His creative work centers around the collection and use of real-world sound, the creation and perception of sonic environments, and technological manifestations of improvisation and interactivity. Recent performances and installation artworks make use of a large multi-channel array of his Hemisphere speakers.
