Also on the bill is James Goode's "Somniloquy", a text based piece based on a collection of dreams. This will be conducted by James and features Carrie Barclay on bassoon; Jon Fellman on guitar, electronics, and tapes; Walter Funk on electronics; Rob Gillespie on bass, electronics, tapes, and sampler; Canner MEFE on computer; Michael Henning on guitar, percussion, and electronics; and Brian Relph on guitar, percussion, and electronics.
In James' words:
"In April of 2007, I asked thirteen friends and acquaintances among
them, musicians, visual artists, composers, and writers to assist me in
writing the score for Somniloquy. This was to be done collectively,
with all participants recording what they experienced while asleep or in
a hypnagogic state. I provided the group with a list of fourteen
phrases I had generated while at the threshold of sleep to repeat to
themselves as they were drifting off, a different one for each night. I also
participated in this process.
A portion of the dreams and hypnagogic experiences collected during
this time serve as the piece's narrative score, which was constructed to
highlight the visual and thematic similarities between different
people's dreams and hypnagogic experiences taking place during the same
twenty-four hour period.
The performers have been asked to interpret the dreams within the
score, and to then make choices regarding how they will translate each into
sound and/or music; literally, emotionally, or symbolically."
