On Friday, October 12, as part of Ear to the Earth 2007, EMF presents the NY Premiere of A Dip in the Lake, by John Cage. is the exploration of a city, taking performers and listeners to places they have never seen or heard before. One of Cage's rarely-performed works, the score identifies up of 427 locations within a city. The "locations" are either very specific (such as the intersection of two streets), or more general (such as "a park" or "Lake Ontario"). Recordings are made at each of these locations, and , divided into 10 groups of 2 (quicksteps), 61 groups of 3 (waltzes) and 56 groups of 4 (marches). These groups of recordings are then mixed live by the performers.
Originally scored for the city of Chicago, this performance, featuring George Boski, Bill Blakeney, and Gayle Young, will use sounds recorded throughout Toronto, Candada. The three performers will each controll four channels of sound, distributed throughout the beautiful Judson Chruch Chapel. Audience members will be invited to walk around the space to hear the piece from different sonic perspectives.
