About This Event
Longtime SMO electronic musician and Cornish College of the Arts faculty member Marcin Pączkowski curates this concert of immersive electroacoustic music. The program reflects and interrogates the darkness of the season, with live and electronic sound diffused throughout Raisbeck Auditorium's state of the art Meyer Sound acoustic constellation of speakers. Tristan Murail’s classic spectral work Winter Fragments depicts scenes of a Northeast winter, Agata Zubel’s Shades of Ice combines virtuosic writing for cello and clarinet with electronics and her own field recordings from a glacier in Iceland, and longtime UW DXARTS Research Scientist Ewa Trębacz’sambisonic soundscape work Umbrae (Shadows) explores memory, interruption, and loss. Works by Joanna Bailie and Marek Chołoniewski draw on SMO musicians’ hallmark skills improvising and utilizing extended techniques, and round out a program intended to highlight music from the Polish diaspora and beyond.
