TECTONICS: Alvin Lucier's "Criss Cross" w/ Stephen O'Malley & Oren Ambarchi / Eyvind Kang / Iancu Dumitrescu + more
Tectonics Festival New York opens with a special presentation of Alvin Lucier's Criss Cross, featuring two pillars of experimental rock: Stephen O'Malley, a doom-metal legend of Sunn O)))) fame, and the celebrated guitarist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Oren Ambarchi. Originally premiered at Tectonics Glasgow in May 2013 and recently staged at Knoxville's Big Ears Festival, this is the duo's first NY appearance.
Jessika Kenney, a composer and vocalist who draws on South East Asian and Persian vocal traditions as well as participating in experimental and metal groups including Sunn 0))) performs solo and also joins Hildur Guðnadóttir, O'Malley and Ambarchi in the World Premiere of Reverse Tree, a newly commissioned work for ensemble by Eyvind Kang. Kenney also performs two works by Italian avant-gardist Giacinto Scelsi, one in a duo with Kang on viola. An ensemble of O'Malley, Ambarchi, Eli Keszler & Alan Zimmerman perform South Pole by Iancu Dumitrescu, a pioneering Romanian composer still not known enough. Canadian sound artist Crys Cole performs solo, drawing subtle and imperfect sounds from simple, meditative gestures.
