About this event
Free Admission
Experience live music in a new way where your actions significantly change the course of a performance. Imagine being in an art gallery where you enjoy art and the space on your own terms. You walk around, stare at a painting, sit and rest, chat with your friend, eat, drink, etc. This event is just like that, with an added element of participation if you choose. Interactive objects spread around the space give you ways to affect the sounds you hear. Audiovisual elements give you clues as to what effect you are having on the performance.
This concert is part of Teerath Majumder's dissertation project Relational Music which he is developing in the Integrated Composition, Improvisation and Technology program at UC Irvine.
