Whistler Sisters

Whistler Sisters
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/14-02-14-Whistler_Sisters.jpg>

Umberto Dinklaker's tone poem "El Erizo Angustiado-or The Anguished
Hedgehog-calls for an unusually large battery of percussion instruments. The
"hedgehog in estrus" motif, for example, is played by a quartet of Acme
Siren Whistles. Professional Acme Siren Whistlers are rare enough, so to
find four of them at one time can be quite the challenge. Luckily, the
Fabulous McGillicuddy Sisters answered their inner musical callings by
majoring in siren whistles at the Pringler Academy of Music and Liniments.
Although they were certainly com-petent, the sisters were not what one might
term virtuosi. When they played in unison, for example, they often
encroached into the domain of parallel seconds. Happily, this was just what
El Erizo Angustiado needed to set it apart from other hedgehog-themed
compositions of the day!

REVIEW: Strings Ahoy
<http://www.voxnovus.com/composersvoice/program/14-01-26.htm>

Composer's Voice
Sunday, January 26, 2014
Reviewed by Jack Crager

After recent experiments with offbeat performance devices - such as long
hollow tubes, ambient electronic noise and sign-language interpretations of
cellphone rants (see Hard Eight review
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/13-12-27.htm> )- the Composer's Voice
Concert Series returns to a tried-and-true combo on January 26: chamber
music with modern dance.

Not that the show lacks adventure. With several numbers featuring violin and
viola, and others incorporating lively choreography, this "Dance
Extravaganza" set has a continuity that accents the variations between
individual pieces. (And as something of a prelude to the Composers Voice
show the following evening at Carnegie Hall
<http://www.voxnovus.com/composersvoice/program/14-01-27.htm> 's Weill
Recital Hall, this matinee concert features some of the same performers and
composers as that Carnegie show.)

Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame with andPlay
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-01-24-Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame_poster.j
pg>

Setting the tone Sunday is the CV's trademark feature, "15 Minutes of Fame,"
curated and performed by andPlay, with Maya Bennardo on violin and Hannah
Levinson on viola. The crisp performance emphasizes tight instrumental
interplay and harmonic contrasts, from the melodic forays of Michael
Maiorana's Autumn Fields to the staccato dancing lines of Ricardo Silva's
O2. Later the set shifts from swooping glissandos in Iain Matheson's
ViolinViola to squeaky moans in Rachel Graff's "Fluctuations" to plucked
counter-melodies of Mike Perdue's "being lost for a minute is not
necessarily terrible." Nor is, for that matter, being led through a sonic
labyrinth for 15 minutes!

Conway Kuo and Pace Short
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-02-14-She_Walks_in_Beauty.jpg>

The first dance piece,
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AKKtDEUBK8&feature=youtu.be> "She Walks in
(burdened) Beauty," features Pace Short performing choreography by Erin
Bomboy, accompanying music, "Slon-he" by Alex Kruchoski, played by Conway
Kuo on viola. This suite seems a miniature life cycle, with its meditative
opening morphing into a lively musical segment with Short dancing like a
whirling dervish. Then a contemplative, almost melancholy section closes the
piece with a graceful bowing out.

Andrea Skull, Jessica Mego, and Stine Moen
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-02-14-Blue_01.jpg>

This leads to the aptly titled "Blue," an abstraction between a composition
by Julius Bucsis and the "dance improvisations" of Andrea Skull, Jessica
Mego, and Stine Moen. Here the music consists of a single, chiming
electronic chord lasting more than three minutes, which continually evolves
in color and shape as its notes are restacked within the composite.
Meanwhile two dancers carefully hoist and hand each other to one other - an
exercise of strength and control that has you both marveling at the
upper-body prowess of these performers and hoping one doesn't fall and break
her neck. (None do.)

Andrea Skull, Jessica Mego, and Stine Moen
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-02-14-He_Stood_Before_Me.jpg>

Then its back to the chamber setting, with Douglas DaSilva's "He Stood
Before Me," featuring Diego Vasquez on clarinet and Adrianna Matteo on
violin. The two instruments trade motifs, weaving among each other and
alternating between dissonance and harmony, while Callie Hatchett's
choreography plays three dancers off each other in a blend of unison and
solo movements, like a shifting dialog. The dancers - Stanton Jacinto, Lee
Katherine Fink, and Allison Schieler - close out the piece with a silent,
ambivalent flourish.

The next piece, "coyote craze" by Vivian Li, is performed on viola by Conway
Kuo and features the self-choreography of dancers Andrea Skurr, Jessica
Mego, and Stine Moen. The vigorous score, both percussive and mellifluous,
sounds like it could be played on piano but breathes and resonates on viola,
while the dancing is energetic and tightly synched.

Adrianna Matteo
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/img/14-02-14-Adrianna_Matteo.jpg>

Closing out the concert is violinist Adrianna Matteo playing the work of the
late, great New York composer Douglas Townsend. First Matteo plays the short
but powerful "Violin Solo from Chamber Concerto No. 1." Then she is joined
by dancers Stanton Jacinto, Lee Katherine Fink, Allison Schieler, and Ali
Berg Nicola - performing choreography by Callie Hatchett - for Townsend's
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbXuzIuviNw&feature=youtu.be> "Air (from
Suite No 1 for Strings)." The four skirted dancers start with a silent,
springlike whirling segment, soon joined by the music's yearning,
classical-sounding melody for a couple of minutes before closing the set
with smooth, fluid final bows. With its interplay between traditional
chamber instruments and experimental song-and-dance ideas, this show gets
the 2014 Composers Voice Sunday Series off to a strong start - and lays the
groundwork for the following night's grand festivities at Carnegie Hall.

Pacific Rim Mix <http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60/2012_Pacific_Rim_Mix.htm>

Thursday, February 20, 2014 - 8:00 PM

The continuing momentum of 60x60 pushes forth the premiere of the 60x60
Pacific Rim Mix. The 60x60 Pacific Rim Mix is the 13th original mix created
out of the 10th annual call for one-minute minuature electroacoustic works.

This mix is curated and "macro-composed" by Alan Shockley and will be
presented by him in the University Art Museum at the California State
University, Longbeach. The performance will take place on Thursday, February
20, 2014 at 8:00 PM and be exactly one hour in length.

60 works by 60 artists, 60x60 offers something different every minute

60x60 is a project containing 60 works each 60 seconds in length presented
continuously in an hour performance synchronized with an analog clock. 60x60
presents a slice of what is happening in the contemporary music scene by
representing 60 works that are diverse in aesthetic and style. Works are
selected from an international pool of emerging and established composers
and sequenced in order. The resulting mix is presented, without
interruption, as a continuous one-hour performance synchronized to an
on-stage analog clock.

Embracing diversity with a furvor not seen anywhere else on the planet

Eclectic by nature, 60x60 offers an unmatched diversity of styles, making
for a fast-speed, electrifying one-of-a-kind performance that never ceases
to surprise. Music includes contemporary, neo-romantic, neo-classic,
text-sound, ambient, environmental, noise, experimental, theatrical, folk,
jazz, blues, tech-house, rock and everything but the kitchen sink (and maybe
even that.)

Composers in the 60x60 (2012) Pacific Rim Mix include:
Fabian Avila, Ignacio Baca-Lobera, Brian Belet, Jon Bellona, John Biggs,
Benjamin Boone, Sarah Boothroyd, Mollie Budiansky, Madelyn Byrne, Patricio
