An opportunity to hear a concert version of David Tudor’s ‘Rainforest’, alongside a remembrance of the late Phill Niblock through a performance of his thirty-minute ‘Guitar Too, For Four’ with projection of his films of ‘The movements of people working’.
Tudor and Niblock are both well-known as originators of unique bodies of work in electronic music / sound art. Younger generations of performers and composers have taken much inspiration from their ways of working.
‘Rainforest’ was first created by David Tudor as a duet ‘piano four hands’ style, to accompany a dance of the same name by Merce Cunningham. It uses small objects as acoustic resonators for electronic sounds. Dimitri Georgaras and Matt Rogalsky are here doing it as a concert piece, before taking it to the Newfoundland Sound Symposium in St John’s NL.
‘Guitar Too, For Four’ was composed by Phill Niblock in 1996 for electric guitars with e-bows. It will be presented with four live guitars on top of layers of Niblock’s original performance samples, creating a massive, harmonically complex drone.
