Collide-O-Scope Music presents "Dream Of The Noctilucent City"
Dream of the noctilucent city This program draws its inspiration from the phenomenon of noctilucent clouds, which offer a diaphanous window partially obscuring the intense light of higher, more brightly dense cloud layers. The works on this program were chosen to evoke the brightly lit density of the urban environment, and represent a view of that intense energy through partially translucent sonic veils, which paradoxically bring forth a stillness and meditative calm even from the frenetic activity of the urban experience. This concert makes use of live electronics and sound processing by Christopher Bailey and Stephen Gorbos to synthesize this aesthetic environment. The music will be accompanied by original video works prominently featuring city nightscapes, as well as architectural drawings of city lighting design by Joseph Clarke.
The performers on the concert are Alejandro Acierto, clarinet, Augustus Arnone, piano, Stephen Gobos and Christopher Bailey, live electronics. They have appeared at Carnegie's Weill Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, BargeMusic, and have appeared with such groups as the Argento Chamber Ensemble, and the International Contemporary Ensemble. The Colllide-O-Scope Music Project was recently formed by pianist Augustus Arnone and composers Stephen Gorbos and Christopher Bailey.
