#3327: Live from Ecstatic Music 2012: Dan Deacon, Part 1
For this New Sounds program, we’ll listen to some more highlights from the New Sounds Live concert series at Merkin Hall, collaborating with the 2012 Ecstatic Music Festival. Hear Dan Deacon’s large-scale work for the NOW Ensemble, the Calder String Quartet, and live processing, “An Opal Toad with Obsidian Eyes.”
Deacon is probably best known as an electronic rocker, but he’s also a trained composer, and this brand-new work, definitely gives a nod to earlier composers like Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and Brian Eno and their use of tape loop technology.
