Sonic Generator Free Concert Monday, March 30 8pm

The Woodruff Arts Center will host Sonic Generator – Georgia Tech’s contemporary music ensemble-in-residence – for a free concert Monday, March 30 at 8 p.m.

Part of the group’s popular concert season, the show will feature seven of Atlanta’s top classical musicians showcasing new ways of creating, performing and listening to music. Concert-goers are invited to a reception following the performance, where they can meet the artists and see research demonstrations from the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology.

The six cutting-edge works on the program use innovative technologies to connect music with film and visual theatrics to create compelling live experiences. Works by Louis Andriessen and Michael Gordon are paired with visuals by seminal filmmakers Bill Morrison and Hal Hartley, while a work by Nardelli features live audio and visual processing of a solo flutist. Music by Tristan Perich combines two percussionists with home-built electronic circuitry and an array of car speakers; Daniel Lentz’s composition gradually transforms phonetic outbursts and wine-glass tinglings into an evocative musical texture; and Javier Alvarez’s work for maracas and electronics brings virtuosity center stage.
