"'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

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.

Autoduplicity presents their second concert exploration in Machaut + Rauschen, juxtaposing Guillaume de Machaut's ballade, “Dame, ne regardez pas” with several of Peter Ablinger's Instrumente und Rauschen and the San Diego premiere of Ablinger's Kreuze for solo cello and electronics. 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

Das Wirkliche als Vorgestelltes (The Real As Imaginary)

Kyrie after Machaut

Guillaume de Machaut

Dame, ne regardez pas (arr. Rachel Beetz and Jennifer Bewerse)

Wordless Music presents their second collaboration with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson: a world premiere live score and screening of PUNCH-DRUNK LOVE (2002), with Jon Brion’s original score re-orchestrated for performance by a 50-piece orchestra.

For this premiere event, composer Jon Brion will sit in and perform with the orchestra as special guest. Wordless Music has partnered with Sony Pictures and PTA to produce a new, music-less print of the film for live orchestral accompaniment, led by conductor Ryan McAdams and percussionists Yuri Yamashita-Morales and Wilson Torres. Members of Wordless Music and wild Up reprise their collaboration from last year’s sold-out performances of UNDER THE SKIN with Mica Levi at the Regent Theater.

As part of her series of concerts exploring the question "Why live music?", Jennifer will perform music that uses technology, not to approximate or imitate other mediums such as film or recordings, but to embrace characteristics like contingency and embodiment that are the foundation of liveness. How do these works come alive in a concert hall? How are they different from a recording? Are they...?
