Lungs (excerpt) by nhennies
On Friday, April 30th I will perform my set of percussion pieces entitled “Psalms” as well as perform in a chamber ensemble for a new piece by Andrew Weathers.
April 30 – May 1 8:30 pm – 8:00 am
Salvage Vanguard Theater
This program represents a tic on the long timeline of the reductive approach to pure tone, and electro acoustic expressionism in music. We’ll explore some contemporary applications and concepts in music in the form of three short pieces followed by a very long one, where you’ll have the chance to spend the night in the Salvage Vanguard Theater Gallery as a participant in an intermedia “Sleep Concert.”
