An evening of improvised and semi-improvised music featuring invented as well as traditional instruments.
Don Buchla's "Marimba Lumina" is the world's most expressive and versatile electronic mallet interface and Joel is both a co-developer and one of the foremost virtuosi of this instrument. Composer Roberto Morales hails from Guanajato, Mexico, and combines his knowledge of traditional Mexican and other musics with his own interactive electronic music software. Matt Wright has been CNMAT's Musical Systems Designer for almost 10 years and will use a Wacom digitizing tablet for nuanced real-time control of a variety of sound synthesis and processing systems that stem from CNMAT's research.
