prof_lofi Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hi everyone,Please feel welcome to attend a concert featuring new percussion ensemble Paella. They use found objects, electronics, graphic scores, and full kits. They will be featuring three new works, two by Texas experimental composers Brent Fariss and Travis Weller, and one by David Revill, John Cage's biographer and composer. We will also be featuring a work by John Cage himself, using only found plant material. Definitely not a night t be missed! Doors at 7:15, music at 7:45 (sharp! so please be early), and best of all, free. [For anyone interested, David Revill will be giving a talk at noon on the same day at the University of Aberdeen, McRobert Building, room 055.

Balvack Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Sound Found SoundCheers Bill - another really interesting event in the great Sound festival.Like Fred Frith said, we're really lucky to have this festival in our home town - I hope folk are appreciating it.Sounds like a good one tonight, and I'm intrigued by the "using only found plant material". Should we bring our own grass whistles for an audience participation encore ? o_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
