Date:Thu, 07/11/2024 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA StageEvent Type:Concert
Flo Menezes' concert brings to the public the North American premiere of four of his acousmatic works, covering a period from 2008 to the present. His music is characterised by spectral, structural and spatial research, resulting in an immersive poetics that the composer defines as maximalist. In a broad panorama that ranges from the posthumous homage to Stockhausen shortly after his death – for whom Flo Menezes was Teaching Assistant on the Kürten Courses and about whom the composer is publishing a trilogy of almost 1000 pages of analyses by the publisher Routledge – to the recent composition made at the EMS in Stockholm, which mixes analogue sounds made on a historic Buchla with granular synthesis, we have a fairly faithful portrait of the diversity of his music.

Special Guest: William WinantJosh Mitchell: Master's Recital
Date:Sun, 05/26/2024 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA StageEvent Type:ConcertIn the broader context of the English language, to bifurcate is simply to split into multiple parts or branches. In the specific context of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, however, a bifurcation is what happens when a very small, smooth shift in one parameter of a system causes it to abruptly change how it acts. Many interesting things can happen at these bifurcation points, including surprising and beautiful transitions between order and chaos. When presented in a musical context, these systems offer many creative ways to explore the many ways we encounter changes over time in the world around us.
