In this open rehearsal, composer and performer Anne Hege collaborates with instrument builders Curtis Ullerich and Dan Iglesia to develop live interactions between custom-built electronic instruments, sound, and video for The Glance. The performance centers on three instruments: Orphea’s Lyre, an analog system made from deconstructed cassette players that records and layers sound in real time; Hades’ Orb, a motion-tracked hoop that filters sound through movement; and Orphea’s Underworld Detector, a modified radio that captures signals via a small-range transmitter. Audiences are invited into the creative process, experiencing live experimentation, problem-solving, and decision-making as the team develops instruments that shape character and narrative within a new operatic work.
