Exploded Ensemble: Every Possible Utterance

The Carnegie Mellon School of Music combines the strengths of a professional conservatory program with those of an innovative global research university to offer an education that fosters the artistic excellence, discipline, skills and entrepreneurship required by today’s competitive, dynamic music field.

Carnegie Mellon University School of Music

A free interactive art & music experience exploring the architectural and design elements of the MuseumLab, with roving musicians.

MuseumLab

<p>This is an evening-length explorable art and music experience that interacts with the unique architectural and design elements of MuseumLab.  The concept of the work the classes are developing is based upon Jorge Louis Borges’ short story &quot;The Library of Babel&quot; which presents a search for meaning amongst patterns of randomness.  The audience will spend the first half of the two-hour experience exploring installations and interacting with roving musicians.  The experience will begin in the Grable Gallery where visitors will interact with work installed throughout the first-floor spaces as well as the Gathering Space on the second floor.  At some point in this section of the evening, visitors in groups of 20’s will be asked to follow a “librarian” for a guided tour of the “library.” They will be led to the lowest level of the Stacks where they will hear musicians performing from above.  The second half of the evening will present a more linear music and visual art experience in the Assembly Hall. The hour-long “concert” section will present a music ensemble performing amidst site-specific video projections.</p><p>Shuttles will be available to transport Carnegie Mellon students to and from the venue. Pick-ups will be 7:15 and 7:30 from Frew Street near Hunt Library, returning at 10:15 and 10:30. You must reserve your event ticket in advance to take the shuttle. Shuttle seating is limited, however, and is first-come, first-served.</p>
