Flutist Jessie Nucho and composer Brett Austin Eastman present a program examining the real-life consequences of feedback loops

S﻿LIDING SCALE ADMISSION AT THE DOOR; NO ONE TURNED AWAY DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS!Composer Brett Austin Eastman and flutist Jessie Nucho present the third and final concert of a three-part series exploring feedback from a variety of perspectives, both literal and conceptual. Often overlooked, feedback is one of the most important aspects of life. It exists not just in music, but in everything we do and experience. It can be something as simple as call-and-response in a song, as information-rich as large language models (AKA “AI”), or as complex as the growth of a living organism. It is inherent to all interactions: life to life, life to machine, machine to machine. With this program, we explore real-life consequences of feedback. Elizabeth Shearon’s I Want You To Panic urges the listener to pay attention to the climate issues the planet is currently facing. Allison Loggins-Hull’s Homeland examines the deadly repercussions of climate change, as well as the increase of political and social unrest worldwide, and explores how the meaning of home changes during a crisis. Concluding the program is Brett Austin Eastman’s entire Feedback Suite, including the premiere of its third and final section, Internal/External, which weaves together themes of environmental catastrophe and exploitative systems with real audio feedback and live pulse data from the performer.San Francisco-based flutist Jessie Nucho is passionate about sharing both traditional and contemporary music as a chamber musician, soloist, and educator. She performs regularly with the new music ensembles After Everything and Ninth Planet, where she also serves as Co-Artistic Director. She is a founding member of Siroko Duo, a flute duo dedicated to commissioning and presenting new works in creative spaces. As a soloist, Jessie has performed at San Francisco’s Center for New Music, the Berkeley Arts Festival, the Hot Air Music Festival, and the Legion of Honor. Jessie holds an MM from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where she studied with Tim Day. Previous instructors include Alberto Almarza and Jeanne Baxtresser at Carnegie Mellon University.Brett Austin Eastman is a composer whose music has been performed by Yarn/Wire and Del Sol String Quartet.
