ENS EKT
Date:
Thu, 10/17/2019 - 7:30pm - 8:30pm
Location:
CCRMA Stage
Event Type:
Concert 
ENS EKT features the experimental musical inventions of Paul Stapleton (Californian born, Belfast-based) placed in dialogue with the circular breathed multiphonics and harmonic textures of Simon Rose (English born, Berlin-based) and the resonant gestural and spectrally focused playing of Adam Pultz Melbye (Danish born, Berlin-based). The group explores emergent timbral, dynamic and social musical structures through improvisation. Having worked together more frequently in duo settings (see below), the trio configuration offers an opportunity to explore new modes of interactions in part facilitated by purpose built technologies that intertwine metallic, wooden and electronic resonances in real time.

The latest speech enhancement work has the potential to dramatically change the way we hear the world around us. This new work has dramatically improved the quality and latency of these algorithms, and it has the potential to change the way we hear the world around us, whether we have normal hearing or need assistance. These new systems build highly sophisticated models of speech, and can pick out the speech signal from the noise. Oh, yes.

Jonathan Berger Première
Congratulations to our very own Jonathan Berger for a terrific write-up of the première of a new piece!
"Classical musicians face enormous expectations when they play a standard repertory work. Listeners have strong feelings about favorite pieces, even when they are open to fresh interpretive approaches.
The stakes are even higher with a premiere. Performing a new piece becomes an act of advocacy to pull an audience in.
