Flo Menezes 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.

By Hugh Hart Published: October 7, 2010
There’s nothing like a whomping dose of volatile organic compounds to fire up a whacked-out free-jazz composition. That’s the only conclusion to be reached after listening to soundscapes designed by two California professors who draw musical inspiration from an unlikely muse: smog. read more
