Memorial (35mm)

i just saw a nationally renowned conductor (Ludovic Morlot) conduct a prepared piano via a goddamn Kinect (yes, like an X-Box Kinect), with a singer (Jessika Kenney) walking around the lobby of the symphony hall singing in a style i would describe as one part classically trained soprano, one part influenced by South East Asian and Persian vocal traditions, and one part Damon Suzuki at his unhinged best in Peking O. They were part of a premiere performance of a piece composed by Trimpin (known for prepared pieces and mechanical work typically) called Above, Below, and In-Between that was performed in the lobby and consisted of said prepared piano, said vocalist, 9 other musicians in the balcony, and a series of wind chimes hanging from the balcony it was possibly the first modern classical piece i’ve ever heard that managed to have the immediacy and attention grabbing aspect of a rock show and did not allow my mind to wander for one moment, while still being a strange and unusual modern piece, and it was truly awesome bravo, seattle symphony, that was cool

Next month, the Berkeley Art Museum will be showcasing a new sculptural sound installation by MacArthur fellow Trimpin (commissioned by Other Minds) as part of a larger celebration in honor of American composer Conlon Nancarrow (1912-1997). The sculpture, Nancarrow Percussion Orchestra, promises to reanimate a wall of percussion instruments from Nancarrow's original Mexico City studio.

The exhibit, which runs from November 2 through December 23, is free to Berkeley students, faculty, and staff (and a maximum of $10 for everyone else), so be sure to stop by and check it out!

If you're able to attend on November 2nd, there's also an opening evening conversation between Trimpin and Lucinda Barnes (BAM/PFA's Chief Curator and Director of Programs and Collections) at 5.30 pm.
