The World Premiere of Synesthesia will be at the Gershwin Hotel on March 18th. Please join me for this special occasion. Dharma Swara has been working very hard getting ready for this show. It'll be a treat, for sure.The online installation of Synesthesia is available for you to check out here.
Music With a View
Come to the Flea Theater to hear Clusters, a new collaboration with composer and recent Guggenheim fellow,Vivian Fung.
The work uses the sample / sub-sampling compositional framework I've developed to sample Vivian playing piano and then takes those samples, chops them up, assembles them, and throws them around the space in a custom 3D audio environment, a Vortitorium. It's not clear if the Flea will be able to support all aspects of the 3D environment, but the piece will be huge anyway.
Vivian will also be showcasing her new work for Balinese Gamelan. Don't miss it!
It's freeeeee...check it out here.
Synesthesia & Shadow Puppets
Come see my piece, Synesthesia, played by the amazing Dharma Swara!
New York’s acclaimed Gamelan Dharma Swara returns to (le) Poisson Rouge to present a visual feast for the eyes and ears. Led by master artists I Nyoman Saptanyana and Ni Ari Ayu Candrawati, the 30+ musicians and dancers will present four distinct genres of music for Balinese gamelan orchestra including: Kebyar Susun, an explosive and dynamic instrumental masterpiece, circa 1964; Legong Keraton Lasem, one of the most iconic female dances in Bali; Synesthesia Suite, a contemporary new work by composer Joel Mellin; and a very special performance of a Wayang Kulit shadow puppet play, led by master artist I Gusti Komin Darta, and based on an excerpt from the ancient Hindu epic, the Ramayana.
