new works by Todd Lerew & Ingrid Lee
Ingrid Lee presents a set of work exploring various types of focused listening:
On User-determined Listening
(for two lecturers)
Pink Noise Studies
(for binaural mics, pink noise, resonant vessels and various textures)
Codependence Suite
(for voices and piano)
Please bring headphones/earbuds for this performance, and if possible, a smartphone/tablet with the airfoil speaker app installed (download here: https://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/speakers.php). There will be a limited number of headphones and smart phones in case you do not have them.
Todd Lerew presents:
concerted pitching
(performed by Christine Tavolacci and Justin Scheid)
Two flute mouthpieces are connected by a long, clear tube. A ball inside the tube acts as a stopper which is sufficiently tight-fitting that it acoustically separates the chamber into two segments, yet remains free to roll laterally and alter both sounding sources simultaneously. Two performers act jointly to explore the sonic capabilities of this dependent system.
plus something else TBD, possibly involving balloons and/or water
Ingrid Lee is a Los Angeles based composer and performer. Her work is influenced by ideas of failure and hybridity through the use of illegitimate and inconsequential sounds: feedback, sympathetic resonance, beatings, noise.
Todd Lerew is a Los Angeles-based composer and instrument builder whose work deals with the physical properties of sound and the nature of perception, exploring the use of sound as a plastic medium, and revisiting relationships within a performance environment.
