PERFORMANCE
Steve Lehman Octet
Friday, May 28, 8 PM
$15/10/5
Named a Rising Star on the alto saxophone four years in a row by the Downbeat Magazine International Critics Poll, acclaimed by publications from The Wire to The New York Times, Steve Lehman is a saxophonist and composer whose multilayered work stands at the frontiers of contemporary music. He marries the esoteric math- and computer-driven compositional principles of "spectral harmony" to the looseness and fluidity of jazz. Lehman will be playing with his handpicked octet, whose luscious smears of horns and vibraphone float over a sizzling rhythm section. You can check out samples of Lehman's music here and here. » More Information

WORKSHOP
LIVE.MEDIA+PERFORMANCE.LAB
August 16—22, 2010
EMPAC will present its first summer lab for interactive media in performance this August 16-22, 2010. Directed by Johannes Birringer and Mark Coniglio, the workshop offers intensive training and possibilities for experimentation with mixed reality and real time architectures, programmable environments, interactive design and the integration of time-based media into live performance and installation. The workshop addresses emerging and professional art practitioners, scientists, researchers, and students from different backgrounds in performance and new media committed to sharing their interest in developing a deeper understanding of composing work focused on real time, interactive or time-based experiences and multidisciplinary collaborative processes (video, sound processing, projection design, lighting, choreography, and directing). Résumé and informal letter of application are due by June 30, 2010. More information on this workshop can be found on the EMPAC website.
