Network Performance ICMC/NYU/CCRMA

Today we will be testing/rehearsing the piece for next week's ICMC network performance. Exciting news is that we will be using Curtis Bahn’s vibrobytes.
We will be joined by two other ensembles in Troy/New York:
Tintinabulate (directed by Pauline Oliveros, Jonas Braasch and Curtis Bahn of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute):
Curtis Bahn - dilruba
Jonas Braasch - soprano sax
Pauline Oliveros - accordion
Dan Valente - violin
Holland Hobson - ?
Anne Guthrie - horn
Bobby Gibbs - clarinet
Doug van Nort - laptop

In Palo Alto/California by SoundWire (directed by Chris Chafe, director of CCRMA at Stanford University):
Chris Chafe - Celleto
Juan-Pablo Caceres – synthesizer

In Belfast from SARC The Roots Ensemble (directed by Franziska Schroeder):
Franziska Schroeder - saxophone
Pedro Rebelo - piano
Alain Renaud - laptop
Gascia Ouzounian - violin

Next week, we will also be joined by:
Laoise Kelly - Traditional harp
Ivan Goff – Pipes
John Kenny – trombone

The piece we are doing is entitled "Tele-Morphosis". It is an improvisation for three co-located music ensembles and telematic live-electronics. In this work the relationships between co-located musicians and their interactions across different acoustic and virtual spaces are explored.

Concert tonight - CCRMA Stanford

And tonight, Pedro Rebelo and myself are playing at CCRMA in Stanford. CCRMA Stage, 8pm.
Program: similar to last night at CNMAT in Berkeley, but I am also playing a network piece by Alain Renaud (who will be in the UK at SARC) and Juan-Pablo Cáceres (who will be at CCRMA) entitled "Drony Feeds Back" (yes, I know not the best title in this world!!!).

Pedro (piano and feedback) and I (sax) will be presenting a new feedback improvisation called "Over Hear".

Also, I will be playing an improvisation for solo sax that looks at the possible interruptions of the human body with the instrument and at the a-synchronicities of certain body parts (i.e. tongue and fingers are not synchronized or the breath tries to interfere with the air column of the instrument). I have called this "Étude".
