Starting off the night with Kim Nucci! Nucci is a relocated East Coast, now West Coast multimedia artist who specializes in music composition, painting, and instrument building. She plays woodwinds, and laptop. She takes probably too much pleasure in the preparation (and destruction) of pianos. No pianos tonight, though What Will She Do? Make it on time and find out!

Videos featuring musicians playing at this event
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)
