Machinations Musical, Divers & Sundry is an evening of experimental music and performance, featuring new works by Donald Craig, Inmi Lee, Douglas Niemela, Joshua Parmenter, Anna Stachurska, and Ewa Trębacz. The composers/artists will play a dual role this evening, not only being the authors of their works, but their performers as well.
Donald Craig will be present 3 Short Improvisations for his new 19-tone equal temperament electric guitar.
Inmi Lee’s Inflection, Cadence, Rhythm, Pain will be an experimental vocal performance with real-time sound processing and kinetic sculpture.
Composer Joshua Parmenter will perform his new work Passacaglia for cello and electronics.
Longtime collaborators Josiah Boothby and Ewa Trębacz will perform Iriviskia, a violin-horn duo with computer-realized surround sound.
Composer Anna Stachurska with flutist Daria Binkowski will present Anna’s work isolated-disintegrated for flute and live electronics.
Finally, Douglas Niemela and Donald Craig’s collaborative project Twitity Twixt Audity will be a duo improvisation of sound (Niemela) and video (Craig).
All artists share one thing in common: they are all graduates or current students of the University of Washington, either at the School of Music or at the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS).
