Improvisation-Transir for bass flute and t-stick

An improvised duo for bass flute and soprano t-stick at the Centro Mexicano para la Música y Artes Sonoras in Morelia, Mexico (29 June, 2012). Salvador Torre, amplified bass flute D. Andrew Stewart, soprano t-stick

Initiated by Andrew Stewart, this work is part of a series of improvised duets where acoustic and digital instrumentalists find common timbre and theatrical spaces. Stewart is interested in building a repertoire of such duets, which will lead to a large-scale composition for numerous acoustic and digital instrumentalists, in the future. Improvisation-Transir marks the first time Stewart and Torre have worked together as stage performers.

world without.

Concordia Laptop Orchestra (CLOrk) & dance @ Ⓓ☊∈∀ (dance and electroacoustics) 2012
This performance took place on April 4th 2012 at the Concordia University dance studios. The show included one-minute collaborations between electroacoustics and dance students and concluded with this performance of the Concordia Laptop Orchestra (CLOrk) with free improvised dance by Concordia students.

The piece was guided by Soundpainting conduction and included group-beat-making utilizing a proprietary wifi OSC/MIDI sync (programmed on Pure Data). The beats were improvised with usually each member of the orchestra playing one type of sound. All the sounds were designed / prepared by the members of the orchestra, utilizing a variety of tools, including CLOrk’s proprietary Juicer instrument.

The barrier between audience, musicians, and dancers was removed by inviting the audience to walk, dance, sit, lie freely within the orchestra space.

Members of CLOrk in this performance include Michael Baker, Jeffrey Clifford, Pat De Luca, Frankie Fiore, Sophie Genest, Kevin Jamey, Karim Lakhdar, Emily Laliberte, Kevin McDonald, Kris McDougall, Andy Poblete, Elena Stoodley, Stephen Trepanier, Justin Trubiano, and Matt Wood. Eldad Tsabary directs and conducts CLOrk.

Dancers in this event: Sophia Wright Amélie Lemay-Choquette, Auja Ragnarsdottir, Pascale Yensen, Greg Selinger, Levana Prud’homme, Emilia Gallo, Emmalie Ruest, Maxine Segalowitz, Olivia Filippo, Aditi Dixit, melinda ellerton, Michaela Gerussi, Veronique Ranger, Laura Battcock, Tanya Cyr, Carolann Shea, & Breanna Harvey
