The evening concert concluding the Festival will begin with a work by David Behrman performed by Zeena Parkins (harp) and William Winant (percussion). Behrman, who with Robert Ashley served as the director of the Center for Contemporary Music in the 1970s, was among the first composers to write music in which performers play conventional instruments that interact with computers in real time. David Rosenboom also served as the director of CCM. In a performance featuring piano, e-vioviola, electronics, and computer algorithms, and video he will construct complimentary and contrasting sound worlds that challenge presumed meanings of “natural and artificial.” With a tip of the hat to Henry Cowell and Leon Theremin’s Rhythmicon, Chris Brown’s UrhythmichrOme for virtual piano and interactive computer navigates through four just-intoned modes. The festival will conclude with a performance by the William Winant Percussion Ensemble of music by John Cage, Lou Harrison, and Steed Cowart.
