When
The Kitchen
launched the
New Music, New York
festival in 1979, it created a "genuine landmark in the evolution of a genre"
(The Village Voice),
and spawned the legendary New Music America.
The Kitchen
celebrates the 25 anniversary of that event with a gala concert that re-unites an all-star line up from the original New Music, New York. An extraordinary opportunity to hear two compositions premiered at the 1979 concerts—
Steve Reich's
Drumming, Part 1
and
Meredith Monk's
Dolmen Music—
Robert Ashley's
1987 song,
Love is a Good Example
(with performers
Joan La Barbara,
Thomas Buckner and Tom Hamilton), a solo accordion
Pauline Oliveros
and new works by
Laurie Anderson
and
Philip Glass.
New Music, New York + 25

christopher janney: sonic forest '04
April 23-May 1, Free
Location: Union Square Park, 14th Street and Broadway
Co-produced by PhenomenArts, Inc. and
Dancing in the Streets
Sonic Forest, part of
Christopher Janney's
Urban Musical Instruments series, is a free-standing, interactive sound/light installation composed of sixteen 4-foot aluminum "electronic trees," each set with audio speakers, lights and photo-electric sensors. As passersby walk between columns, the sensors are triggered to produce an ever-changing "score" of melodic tones, environmental sounds and spoken text, accompanied by varying light effects. If participants solve the "riddle," they may also activate pre-programmed patterns from a flock of birds to a swarm of fireflies at night.

Artists' rendering of
Blue Moon
by O+A (Bruce Odland and Sam Auinger)
o+a (bruce odland and sam auinger): blue moon
For their first New York City commission, sonic alchemists
Bruce Odland
and
Sam Auinger (O+A)
create an installation that transforms the ambient soundscape of the Hudson River waterfront at the World Financial Center into a resonant environment. Tuning tubes wired with microphones and suspended over the harbor harmonize the local acoustic happenstance, from waves to helicopters overhead. Five cube loudspeakers play back this real-time data and serve as street furniture on which listeners can experience
Blue Moon
's shifting sonic bricolage.
Cube loudspeaker materials research and fabrication by Joe Macdonald with Daniel Adams and Jason Halaby, Harvard Design School.
