Dafne Vicente-Sandoval works at the intersection of bassoon acoustics, resonant spaces and amplification; Charles Curtis explores classical cello performance, precise tuning and sustained sound. Together they have marked out a distinctive perspective on contemporary experimental music. Working collectively with composers Alvin Lucier, Tashi Wada and Éliane Radigue, and individually with Jakob Ullmann, Phill Niblock, Peter Ablinger, La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, and Christian Wolff, Vicente-Sandoval and Curtis present shared concerts of work made for them along with original sound pieces.
For their presentation at The Lab on Saturday April 25th, Vicente-Sandoval will premiere a new version of Tashi Wada's Witness, in which a series of microtonally inflected scales and tetrachords are explored through repetition, variation and improvisation. Vicente-Sandoval's own Minos Circuit Rewired, for microphone feedback, voice and disassembled bassoon, will close the evening. Curtis will intersperse short performances, possibly including Tashi Wada, Morton Feldman, Christian Wolff, Alvin Lucier and/or other works-in-progress.
