Voices of Silicon Valley (VOSV) is pleased to perform contemporary vocal music mixed with electronics! This is a rare opportunity to witness and explore the relationship between choral-like singing and music production-- electronic instruments, software programs, and live mixing.
Come hear the Bay area's leading electronic music artist Kris Grant in combination with VOSV's director, Cyril Deaconoff, setting of "La rosa de Mexico", based upon poet Xavier Villaurrutia's "Nocturna rosa". We'll also explore the page of words unread in composer Alexander Frank's newest choral work "Lorem Ipsum", as well as revisit Peter Shin's "Bits Torn from Words::VI. If __________ did happen, how bad would it be?"

We're excited to introduce talented young artist Nathan Zavaleta's work, Dream, in combination with electronics by Kris Grant. Dream is a choral piece inspired by Georgian singing. Come witness these amazing premieres at the San Francisco performance!

Visible Cloaks: Paradessence

Experience Paradessence, the latest from Visible Cloak, a shimmering journey of emergence and illusion unfolding in a luminous, hyperreal nocturne.

Paradessence, Visible Cloaks’ third full-length, is a work of emergence and illusion. The album’s fourteen songs shift, heave, and shimmer against a faintly luminous backdrop of night, a cavernous space shaped by sparse hyperreal representations of the natural world. The arrangements are simultaneously grandiose and fragile, both an inversion and culmination of what came before and as adventurous as anything they’ve produced so far.
Opening the evening is San Francisco Bay Area based composer and performer Madalyn Merkey, whose recent work observes the principles of acoustic instruments and material spaces to design real-time soundsynthesis programs for site-specific performances.
