ROOM: The Body Electroacoustic
Thursday July 31, 2014, 8pm
The ROOM Series presents an evening of electroacoustic music by composer/performers
Donald Swearingen, Jon Leidecker,
Pamela Z, and Kadet Kuhne, with special guests
Suki O'Kane and Giselle Eastman.
Donald Swearingen translates gesture into sound via a series of sensor-based instruments of his making. Jon Leidecker inscribes gestures on a tablet to generate sonic events.
Pamela Z's hand and vocal gestures deliver and transform live and sampled sounds. Kadet Kuhne layers electroacoustic material while
Suki O'Kane and Giselle Eastan's dexterous gestures excite sonorities from vibraphone, bass drum, and clarinet.
Royce Gallery, 2901 Mariposa Street #18, San Francisco, CA

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)
