Pianists Sarah Cahill, Luciano, Chessa, and Joe Lasqo, will perform solos and/or works in various ensemble configurations (2 hands, 4 hands, 6 hands, and 8 hands) acoustically and processed, prepared and neat, shaken and stirred. Composer/performer Pamela Z will join them for a tutti finale.

BREATHING is a movement from Carbon Song Cycle (a inter-media chamber work by composer/performer Pamela Z and visual artist Christina McPhee). The work was originally written for voice & electronics, bassoon, viola, cello, percussion, and tape. This is a solo version performed by the composer (with just voice, processing, and tape), recorded at a 3/13/2014 duo concert with Joan La Barbara as part of the 2014 ROOM Series. Pamela Z is using a gesture controller (designed and built by Donald Swearingen). © 2013 Last Letter Music (ASCAP)
