From Polarity to Plurality Concert

Monday, October 6, 7:30pm, Voxman Building, Opera Studio

My colleague professor Matthew Arndt emcees the first of seven presentations of an intergalactic music poetics. As he says: "Drawing together ancient wisdom and modern science, this poetics aims at transmuting one’s experience of everything as music and living joyfully even as we work confidently toward an abundant future."
I am thrilled that Matthew Arndt invited me to curate the second part of the evening with compositions of mine. I am also thrilled that brilliant minds and artists from Iowa City are joining me on stage!

Program

  • Matthew Arndt presents the première of a video episode produced by Rabalais Productions with artisan animation by Auden Lincoln-Vogel.
  • Legit, for trombone & live electronics, with Jonathan Allen
  • Jamshid Jam & guest, for setar & live electronics with guest spoken word artist, with Ramin Roshandel and Jhe Russell
  • Première of Montagne Pelée, for solo baritone saxophone with Rubens tube, premièred by Kenneth Tse, with Dale Stille operating the Rubens tube, and with a special introduction by Professor of Physics Frederick Skiff

Since I self-published my score Bleu 3 , a number of colleagues and friends asked me a " score self-publishing 101 " session. This post is intended to help anyone interested in self-publishing, especially composers. Some of these tips may be equally useful to make a book of your favorite recipes (a nice present for your friends).

Here is the live recording: This performance was a first step towards the creation of a complete soundtrack for the 65-minute movie as a trio (Ramin Roshandel, Nicolas Sidoroff, and myself).
