#4537, Electronic, Acoustic, and Electroacoustic Music
Is it electronic music, acoustic music, or a hybrid of the two? Listen to electronic music by Canadian Kara-Lis Coverdale and Chicago’s Timothy Corpus, sound art from composer David Bird and pianist Ning Yu, and the ensemble Contemporaneous in arrangements of music by Yasmin Williams, Yaz Lancaster, and Alex Weiser, recorded in July 2021.
Listen to music by Montreal-based Kara-Lis Coverdale and her “Ewi” – the electric wind instrument from her 2015 record, Aftertouches. Her “world-building work occupies new planes built upon a borderless understanding of electronic music rooted in the interlocking pathways of musical systems and languages,” as the ensemble Contemporaneous writes on their Instagram. Yaz Lancaster, and Alex Weiser.
The “23-member ensemble performing the most exciting music of now,” Contemporaneous plays arrangements of Kara-Lis Coverdale's record, Aftertouches, this Saturday, Sept. 18 at Irondale in Brooklyn. It’s part of a Day of Imagination, celebrating dream projects, and Contemporaneous's 10th anniversary (now 11th…)
Also, hear acoustic works recorded by Contemporaneous this past July for an outdoor concert called After the Storm. Listen to some of the lyrical works by composers Yasmin Williams, Yaz Lancaster, Alex Weiser, all arranged for the group, and featuring Yasmin Williams on guitar and kora.
Plus, listen to electronic music by Chicago-based composer, educator, and sound designer Timothy Corpus, and collaborative electro-acoustic sound art from composer David Bird and pianist Ning Yu. - Caryn Havlik
