Unsounding Objects: Live@CIRMMT February 7, 2013

Unsounding Objects is a series of studies composed for the SpectraSurface that examines various characteristics of the instrument. The SpectraSurface is a set of playing surfaces contained within a suitcase and equipped with contact microphones. Found objects such as bowls, pipes, or toys are placed on top of the surfaces. The sounds from the contact mics are sent to a computer where they are analyzed for their important audio features; these features are then used to drive sound synthesis. The tradition of found objects in the percussion idiom (Henry Cowell, John Cage, Lou Harrison) offers a familiar interface with unique timbral and temporal characteristics which produce interesting results in the analysis-synthesis platform of Unsounding Objects.

4eyes + Émilie Girard-Charest + Miller//Pelchate

Émilie Girard-Charest
Une violoncelliste éclectique qui se démarque par sa créativité et son audacité (selon moi!), Émilie fera un set solo d’improvisations.

+

4eyes
Four Eyes is Preston Beebe and Ryan Packard on percussions. Together, they have developed an amazing/fascinating chemistry. Unpredictable!

+

Miller//Pelchat
Miller//Pelchat features Farley Miller on drums and Alex Pelchat on guitar and effects. They sound like hyperactive toddlers playing Cobra but also like the score to a grim slasher movie.
