UnStumm: Conversation of Moving Image and Sound | Arts Intensive
Date:Sat, 09/16/2023 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA Stage / CCRMA LIVEEvent Type:Concert
The Stanford Arts Intensive program and CCRMA present UnStumm as part of the Audiovisual Performance class.
UnStumm – conversation of moving image and sound is a project for real-time film and music (Echtzeitfilm) for cross-disciplinary and cross cultural collaboration between video artists and musicians from Germany and other countries. It aims to create an environment of cultural and creative exchange, where a common complex artistic language is invented and used to communicate narratives, and textures, colliding, combining, and attracting worlds of sight and sound. Since 2016 UnStumm has performed in 12 countries worldwide. Collaborations have taken place with more than 65 live video artists, musicians, and dancers. In their performance, UnStumm will combine an in-situ performance with their Augmented Voyage app, making it a mixed reality performance. The audience will experience this performance in space, while using the app at the same time to follow UnStumm's movements between different layers of projection and reality.Elena Stalnaker's Senior Recital - Works by Women (c.1150-2023)

Iran Sanadzadeh: Ocean, Again
Date:Fri, 05/12/2023 - 7:30pm - 9:00pmLocation:CCRMA Stage / CCRMA LIVEEvent Type:Concert
Performing on the Terpsichora Pressure-Sensitive Floors, an electronic instrument controlled by whole-body movement, Iran Sanadzadeh performs from her upcoming debut album, Ocean, Again. This performance uses the gestural vocabulary learned on the instrument to control a large number of sonic parameters with few controls. The sonic aesthetic, minimal in starting material, weaves dichotomies resulting from unintuitive mappings on the instrument to find new sound associations. This work wonders if between the embodied feeling of movement and sonic stasis, small actions and rapid change, new experiences of musical structure might be formed.FREE and Open to the Public | In Person + Livestream
Pre-show talk with the artist at 6pm
