Sound Art Concert at Washington Square Park
9/9/2006 at 3 pm
Paul Lansky + So Percussion + Luke DuBois + Joan La Barbara + Daedelus + Jerseyband
and Carl Stone's Acid Bop
Sound Art at Washington Square Park brings together a gathering of preeminent contemporary composers, presenting an unusual yet complimentary cross-section of music today.
“The players in So Percussion ... were energetic and thorough in mining…works for their visceral and structural thrills …brilliant….consistently impressive.”
-The New York Times
Carl Stone // is one of the pioneers of live computer music, and has been hailed by the Village Voice as “the king of sampling” and "one of the best composers living in (the USA) today." He has used computers in live performance since 1986. // Daedelus // presents a live electronic set. Experimental electronic composer based out of Los Angeles. Impeccable collage work with eclectic sound sources; recent albums include Exquisite Corpse and Denies the Day’s Demise (Mush/Ninja Tune) // Jerseyband // Experimental rock ensemble that fuses heavy-metal sounds with jazz instrumentation: “a melange of de-tuned electric guitars, crashing drums, and a seemingly traditional jazz-ensemble front-line…totally rad, and totally loud.” (The Metroland Weekly). Plays solo set and first collaborative set with So Percussion. // Joan La Barbara // is a composer, performer, sound artist, and pioneer of a broad vocabulary of extended vocal techniques, praised as “one of the great vocal virtuosas of our time.” (San Francisco Examiner) La Barbara will perform “Urban Tropics Revisted,” a surround piece for voice and electronics. // Luke DuBois // presents selections from Timelapse (Cantaloupe) and a live electronic set. A composer, programmer, and video artist, he is the co-author of Jitter, a software suite developed by Cycling ’74, and teaches interactive music and video performance at Columbia’s Computer Music Center and NYU. // Paul Lansky // presents “Ride,” an 8-channel piece using traffic sounds for source material. Paul Lansky is professor of music composition at Princeton; albums include Alphabet Book and More than Idle Chatter (Bridge). // So Percussion // plays new works from the group’s upcoming album Amid the Noise (Cantaloupe), featuring original compositions by ensemble member Jason Treuting and Paul Lansky's "Threads.”
