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). *********Mention "HIGH MAYHEM" and get two tickets for the price of one!!******** **CONTACT FOR MORE INFO:* Philip Mantione music@philipmantione.com 505-466-4832 Funded in part through: Meet The Composer's MetLife Creative Connections program
