A concert exploring the possibilities created from interaction between live performance and digital technology. Steen­Andersen’s work turns a sonic microscope on the voice, amplifying and re-contextualising phonemes into musical phrases while Ablinger (external link) transcribes a the microvariations of a blank vinyl record for solo piano. Prins (external link) pits the live performer against a virtual avatar, blending the acoustic and digital together in a new reality. In Rodgers’ piece, a hands-on exploration of the sonic possibilities of percussion is captured and transformed by live sampling, the electronic processing enhancing and augmenting the live performance.

With Serge Vuille, percussion.

Morton Feldman’s 1981 work Patterns in a Chromatic Field creates its own musical context, setting aside conceptions of rhythm and harmony to work instead with the raw materials of duration and pitch. Influenced by late Feldman, Georgia Rodgers’ new work for cello and electronics explores repetition as a means of achieving stillness, examining the interaction between sonic spaces.

With Séverine Ballon (external link), cello.
