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).

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.

Productions disseminated internationally through human, print and broadcast media. …. [www.redroom.org]

Mobtown Modern “Project 20 Remix”

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.”
