Alvin Lucier performed by Charles Curtis & Dafne Vicente-Sandoval
Sunday, Dec. 17 at 3pm
Free | RSVP
Please join us for an end-of-the-year event, with works by Alvin Lucier performed by cellist Charles Curtis and bassoonist Dafne Vicente-Sandoval.
Alvin Lucier, Same and Different (2021) for bassoon and pure wave
Alvin Lucier, Slices (2007-2011) for cello and pre-recorded orchestra
Same and Different: During the course of the performance an electronically generated pure wave tuned at 442 Hz flows from a single loudspeaker mounted behind and above the heads of the audience. A bassoonist plays a series of 126 long tones consisting of near-unison variations of the pure wave caused by different fingerings. Small variations in pitch cause audible beating. The farther the distance between the pitches, the faster the beating; at unison, no beating occurs. Furthermore, the beating patterns may be heard to spin in space above the heads of the listeners.
In Slices for cello and pre-recorded orchestra, a 53-note chromatic tone cluster is sustained by 53 orchestral instruments, each recorded individually and looped. Against this sustaining surface, the solo cello performs melodic orderings of the 53-note set; with each played tone, the cluster is successively erased and then re-inscribed, in a gradual process timed and inflected by the soloist in real time. The entire cluster is traversed seven times altogether.
Ben Vida and Yarn/Wire: "The Beat My Head Hit" + Charles Curtis & Dafne Vicente-Sandoval: "Ultra White Violet Light"

François J. Bonnet and Stephen O’Malley are long-term collaborators around editorial projects like Recollection GRM and Portraits GRM labels & SPECTRES journal. Their first album, Cylene appeared in late spring 2019, and the Cylene Suisse Redux LP in spring 2021 (with production by Jim O’Rourke and Ryoji Ikeda), both were released on Editions Mego. The music of this duo suggests a world at the same time serene and anxious, evoking the calm before or after the storm without excluding, from time to time, the storm itself.
François J. Bonnet is a Franco-Swiss composer, writer and theoretician based in Paris. He’s been a member of INA GRM since 2007 and became its director in 2018. He has published several books : The Order of Sounds, The Infra-World, After Death(all published by Urbanomic) and The Music To Come(Shelter Press).
Stephen O’Malley is a guitarist, producer, composer, and visual artist who has conceptualized and participated in numerous drone and experimental music groups for over two decades – SUNN O))), KTL, and Khanate being among his best-known creations. Wildly prolific, O’Malley’s oeuvre is defined by its remarkable breadth, complexity and multidisciplinary interests. O’Malley is also a vigorous live performer and has toured around the world since 2000. His live performances feature a reverberating fog of electric guitar minimalism – sorcery that challenges boundaries of space and time.
