february 9 2012 - An evening of modular collaborations
Performed by Gill Arno, Patrick Franke, Richard Garet, Wolfgang Gil, Andrew Lafkas, David Moscovich, Daniel Neumann, Ben Owen, Ole Schmidt, and Chris Weinheimer.
The group will explore collaborative strategies of composing and performing sound and visuals based on the idea of modular organization. Pieces are developed in non-hierarchical and decentralized forms where collaborators interact as equals. The modular structure is reflected less on the technical level but primarily on the level of collaborative formulation of ideas and its execution.
