If it's short it will be this tall.

Autoduplicity's last performance of their second concert exploration, Machaut + Rauschen, juxtaposing Guillaume de Machaut's ballade, “Dame, ne regardez pas” with several of Peter Ablinger's Instrumente und Rauschen. Leaping from the simple purity of a single melody to the “everything always” of white noise, Machaut + Rauschen explores the hidden complexity in simple sounds and hidden sounds within masses of complex noise. Listening at these extremes reveals how deceptive the very ideas of simple or complex can be.

Featuring:

Peter Ablinger

WEISS / WEISSLICH 17d: Flöte und Rauschen

WEISS / WEISSLICH 17k: Violoncello und Rauschen ("Kreuze")

Piccolo und Rauschen

"'the cage, on this occasion, was made to recall the human form.' [from john the posthumous by jason schwartz]

animals have become a central theme in the music that i write: animals that are misshapen, dismembered, sutured together.  these are animals of human creation and degeneration that are without kin; they are learning to walk, learning to speak.

here is a grotesque of five pieces — abscess, abbess, monk, monkfish, lungfish — that possess through-lines to one another, but never to all at once.  they are blunt amalgams of rapid experimentation with little consciousness of their materiality beyond the mutative remnants of each species.  their creation, like their titles, is an extended exquisite corpse game: an always-forward lumbering onward to the next, and connected only by the loosest implications of what came before."

- Kurt Isaacson

Admission: $10/5

Southland Ensemble travels to San Diego to present RAINFOREST at UCSD's Springfest. David Tudor's RAINFOREST is a blueprint to a sonic environment, an exploration of resonance that has had a significant impact on electroacoustic music. Now, over forty years since its inception, Southland Ensemble is proud to present an evening dedicated to the work and that which has been inspired by it.

The concert will feature an installation and live performance of RAINFOREST IV, as well as the San Diego premiere of a new composition by composer Carolyn Chen inspired by Tudor's work.

Admission: FREE
