The Improvising Composer
project will be a day long event that will include workshops in
interactive audio software, a panel discussion and concert. Featured
composers are Martin Back, James Brody, William Fowler Collins,
J.A. Deane, Philip Mantione and Christian Pincock. The panel
discussion will be moderated by long-time music critic and writer,
Craig Smith.
WORKSHOPS
In the workshops, composers will
discuss their use of software such as MAX/Msp, LiSa, Nodal, Plogue
Bidule, Super Collider, AudioMulch, Kontakt3, Artwonk and Ableton
Live. There will be demonstrations of custom built instruments and the
use of micro-controllers such as the MIDITRON and Arduino to control
external devices and capture sensor data. These sessions will provide
invaluable information for composers, musicians, and artists that want
to perform live, create interactive installations, or to simply get
exposure to current software being used.
PANEL DISCUSSION
Craig Smith will moderate a panel
discussion with the six participating composers. Topics will
include improvisational systems such as Cobra, Conduction and
Soundpainting, approaches to solo versus group improvisation, and the
influence of technology on live improvised performance.
CONCERT
The evening concert will feature a
series of six solo performances by each composer and a premiere
performance of these musicians as a group. The six participating
composers cover a wide breadth of experience and come from diverse
backgrounds (see ARTIST BIOs below).
