#2479: Music for Multiples
New Sounds | May 24, 2010
For this New Sounds program, experience an hour of music for multiples of the same instrument. Take the dense layers of guitars in Glenn Branca’s Symphony No. 2, introduce gradual massive bursts, and incorporate metal percussion and drums and you have a massive soundmass. On the other hand, there’s music by Alex Shapiro - a work called “Bioplasm” for 4 flutes. It’s a squishy piece, something that she thought of as “an organism that oozes across the sonic floor.” Also, there’s a work by Mary Jane Leach for multiple female voices inspired by early music polyphony. Rounding out the show is music by Raphael Mostel for Tibetan Singing Bowl Ensemble.
