This just in from UIUC Illinois News Bureau: Experimental composer headlines events examining art-science connections. This news article by Jodi Heckel describes the origin and agenda of my truly unique, two-week residency at UIUC as a George A. Miller Visiting Professor, with twelve events, starting October 3rd. Anastasia Chernysheva, a doctoral student in history, organized the event series, and an extraordinary interdisciplinary array of faculty and student colleagues from across multiple departments at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are collaborating.
NOWS from David Rosenboom and Sarah Belle Reid is a captivating expression of the radical challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The music examines the notion of “co-presence,” or togetherness, when experienced in isolation. This seemingly self-contradictory concept became an everyday occurrence as in-person gatherings became video conferences. Performer-composers Reid and Rosenboom spent this time passing fragmented musical ideas back and forth. In this organic way, a collection of “sound correspondences” accumulated between the two artists, made with instruments ranging from strings and horns to modular synthesizers, analog signal processors, urban and desert soundscapes, and much more. The resulting album, NOWS, is a post-genre masterpiece that speaks to our unique moment in history.
New book chapter just published in the book Sound Work: Composition as Critical Technical Practice, edited by Jonathan Impett, Leuven University Press, part of Orpheus Institute Series. This chapter explores and challenges paradigms about how we extract and perceive the features of musical and related forms, along with a set of composition stories, how the ideas and techniques in some of my recent works emerged. The book includes links to online media objects, recordings, videos, etc. to further illustrate and expand its texts.
This is a multimedia artist statement based on my 2018 keynote at the Orpheus Instituut conference, The Power of Musical Networks. Thanks to Juan Parra Cancino for putting this together. This is a wonderful issue with contributions from an array of important thinkers and practitioners.
