GRAPHIC SCORES
Concert of visual-oriented music and graphic score compositions.  A unique eye-catching event! Composers perform their own works, alongside video projection and visual imagery.  Featuring video, music and solo performances by Samuel Burt (clarinet), Liz Meredith (viola), and Will Redman (drums).

SAMUEL BURT (clarinet) www.samuelburt.com
Samuel Burt gives a lot of his time to Baltimore’s thriving experimental music community, as an organizer, composer, and improvisor. As a board member of the High Zero Foundation, he is constantly preparing for each year’s festival while running the weekly Red Room experimental music shows. He also organizes chamber music performances of Baltimore composers under the series name After Now. …. [www.redroom.org]

LIZ MEREDITH (viola) www.lizmeredith.com
Liz Meredith is a string player, improviser, and composer originally from Baltimore, Maryland. Her music explores many creative facets, from composing instrumental works to making ambient music, song-oriented pieces, graphic scores, and solo improvisations. “Baltimore’s Liz Meredith is a creator of string-based, electronically textured drones made to soothe souls…” …. [www.redroom.org]

WILL REDMAN (drums) www.willredman.com / www.bookmusic.org
Will Redman is a musical instrument that scrambles and obfuscates the precarious limen of the composer-performer-audience compact. Scores employ fantastically unsystematic notation, inviting the beholder into a wilderness of interpretive self-sufficiency. Improvisations manifest as ostensible readings of invisible psycho-temporal texts.  Sounds distend the sentient receptive sphere. Productions disseminated internationally through human, print and broadcast media. …. [www.redroom.org]

Mobtown Modern “Project 20 Remix” (2011)

MOBTOWN MODERN “Project 20 Remix” / Liz Meredith sample:

Liz writes: “Most of my compositions are derived directly from my viola playing. I enjoy hearing small fragments of the instrument; scattered, rearranged, and transformed into something new. I like to explore these ideas in many ways. I find myself drawn towards musical extremes, i.e. melodic, experimental, tiny, colossal, gradual, abrupt, clean, chaotic, soft, booming, fragile, and/or expansive types of sound. Or two distinct paths: heavily processed electronic sounds and more organic acoustic sounds. With my string playing, both ways work. This short 20-second audio sample explores many of these musical ideas.”
