SUMMARY:Moe Staiano Conducts Music for 48 Guitars(24 Guitar Version)
DESCRIPTION:Moe Staiano conducts his electric guitar ensemble in the premiere of his second guitar composition\, Music for 48 Guitars (24guitar version). \n\n\n\n\nMoe Staiano conducts his electric guitar ensemble with the premiere of Music for 48 Guitars (24 guitar version). This is an exploration of tonal interplay and contrasting rhythms with eight electric guitars\, bass\, drums\, and percussion. It features assertive rhythmic structures and intertwining tremolo structures\, balanced by continuous play against each guitarist with bouncing rhythms and ongoing hockets while surrounding the audience with a bombastic attack. \nWritten at the start of 2022 and completed in 2023\, Music for 48 Guitars follows his first guitar composition\, Away Towards the Light (2016)\, but with a vision of encompassing the audience of the ensemble with various stations of players circling the audience with a live surround sound of music sections traveling back and forth. There are six (6) groupings of eight (8) guitar players each (four (4) each in this case for this performance)\, spread out equally in the room\, with five percussionists playing toms\, cymbals\, bongos\, brake drums\, and tam-tam\, and one drummer and bassist. The lack of venues with the space and accommodation to house a hefty ensemble of 55 players has (and continues to) delay any performance. The truncated ensemble of 31 players will be the first performance of any kind at the Dresher Ensemble Studio. The performance will conclude my 2019 Dresher Ensemble Artist Residency that was interrupted due to COVID.

SUMMARY:DEPARTURE DUOCHERYL E. LEONARD + WOBBLY
DESCRIPTION:Boston-based DEPARTURE DUO (Nina Guo\, soprano and Edward Kass\, double bass) probes the experimental side of soprano and double bass with commissioned pieces from Christian Wolff\, Erin Gee\, and Andrew Watts. In a program that pushes their high-low combination through the Looking Glass\, Departure Duo invites listeners to a world where voice and instrument become one sonic body\, sound off on a proto-language\, and follow gargoyles on a PM walk. Bring open ears to explore the extremities of soprano and double bass with us.  \n\nFor Charles North’s 15 Poems and Liner Notes 2 by Christian Wolff\nMouthpiece 43 by Erin Gee\nGarden Clocks by Njabulo Phungula\nLinear B by Andrew Watts\n\nCHERYL LEONARD makes field recordings of natural soundscapes\, and builds and plays electroacoustic instruments made out of natural materials such as bones\, driftwood\, shells\, seaweed\, feathers\, and stones.  WOBBLY sees the long histories of feedback and generative music as attempts to better understand what all those animals are singing about.  Recently they’ve been driving to the Marin Headlands to make hydrophone recordings of the Newt Pond that was once an anti-aircraft gun turret\, you know the one\, but if you haven’t stuck your head underwater to hear the sound of photosynthesizing pond weed\, don’t — those newts are poisonous.
