Islands in the Stream
Slovak Radio is broadcasting three works by Meira Warshauer--Ahavah (Love), Shacharit (Morning Service) and Like Streams in the Desert--live from Bratislava at 1 PM EST today. Thanks to the miracle of the internet, you can listen by going to Slovak Radio and following the livestream link. Meira is keeping a blog of her journey here at S21...On Saturday, February 4, at 8 pm our buddy Brian Sacawa will be performing some "Hybrid Grooves" at the Philadelphia Ethical Society on Rittenhouse Square. On the program is the premiere of "Collage No. 1 (Bits of Bowie) by Philadelphia composers Richard Belcastro.
 Jennifer Stock of Soundbook One is curating an evening of electronic sound art at 8 pm on February 12 at Galapagos. The program will feature electroacoustic works + tape pieces by Paul Lansky, Ingram Marshall, Luke DuBois, and three emerging Yale composers, including our regular contributor Ian Moss and his Capital M crew. Details on the program and how to find Galapagos (go the third sea turtle and hang a right) here.
This Just In: Michael Gordon and Bill Morrison will be presenting an evening of works with the TACTUS Ensemble, led conductor Patti Monson, this Saturday, February 4, 8pm at Merkin Concert Hall
On the program will be Gotham, a piece for 35 musicians and 30 minutes of trippy film, with the musicians positioned behind a stage-wide scrim onto which Morrison's films will be projected.
Gordon and Morrison will also debut a new work, Who By Water. The title comes from a passage in the Rosh Hashanah service: "On Rosh Hashanah it is inscribed, and on Yom Kippur it is sealed...Who shall live, and Who shall die...Who by water, and Who by fire..."
Morrison says "Who By Water uses deteriorating archival footage to inspire the viewer to reflect upon his or her own fate, as those of the people captured by the film have already been sealed."
Or maybe you can stay home and kill yourself.
