Adam Rudolph: GO Organic Orchestra
Composer Adam Rudolph returns this fall with another concert series for Go: Organic Orchestra. In concert he will conduct between 20 – 35 musicians in a spontaneous way, using a newly created score of music/letter grids, language themes, tone rows, traditional and synthetic scales, diadic and intervalic harmonies, The compositions will also utilize Rudolph’s rhythm concept of “Cyclic Verticalism” to generate form and weave what he calls an “audio syncretic music fabric”. The music is “organic” in the sense that the compositions and conducting exist as an inspiration and context for the musicians to express themselves by using their instruments as an amplifier for their inner voice.
November 13th @ 8:30pm
Kenta Nagai / Jenifer Walshe
Guitar/Shamisen (traditional Japanese string instrument) player Kenta Nagai works with acoustic and electronic sound, visual media and live performance. A frequent collaborator with artists working in dance, theater and film, the boundaries of Nagai’s sound work erode, allowing a deep exploration of audience/performer relationships, orientation of audiences in the space and distribution methods of sound.
Jennifer Walshe was born in Dublin in 1974 and studied composition with John Maxwell Geddes, Kevin Volans and most recently in Chicago, where she is still based, with Amnon Wolman. An internationally renowned composer and vocalist, her hybrid musical theater blends wit, intelectual prowress, and political critique presented in the form of operas for Barbie dolls, ceremonies to placate dead drum solos, pieces for passive-aggressive choir, and indexes of hundreds of pop songs discharged in just a minute.
November 14th @ 8:30pm
Andrew Lamb
“Andrew Lamb couples notes the way storytellers spin words into spellbinding tales, weaving visions and dreams the way visual artists blend pastel and neon hues.” Jazz saxophonist and flautist Andrew Lamb has been a driving force in New York City’s avant-garde community since the 70s, performing with such large ensembles as the Composer’s Workshop Ensemble, Alan Silva Sound Vision Orchestra, Cecil Taylor Vision Orchestra, and the Roy Campbell Ensemble. His music rises out of the African-American church, blues, and jazz traditions, and is deeply spiritual, profoundly emotional, and easily accessible.
