<br>
*Overview*<br>
<br>
Regenwald 2011 is a contemporary re-interpretation of David Tudor?s<br>
series of compositions from the 1970?s entitled ?Rainforest?. It uses<br>
various types of sonic transducers to play live sounds through various<br>
resonant objects in the performance space, as well as through<br>
architectural features of the space itself. Additionally, an 8?8 matrix<br>
mixer allows the sound from any of the objects to be sent to any of the<br>
performers, making the whole piece an experiment in generative chaos.<br>
<br>
Regenwald 2011 will be developed in a workshop format with up to 8<br>
participants over a period of several days. The resulting work should<br>
shift between relatively static installation-like moments and<br>
performative sections where the artists seek new relationships with the<br>
objects and each other. The audience is free to move around the<br>
performance space, engage in conversations and explore the resonant<br>
objects, thus adding new life to the rainforest.<br>
<br>
A opening night presentation will introduce the concept of Regenwald<br>
2011 and the context of ?Schematic as Score? as seen in the works of<br>
both David Tudor and John Cage.<br>
