MUSHROOM LANGUAGE, by Tristan Partridge

CONVERSATION WITHOUT WORDS, by Andrew May

Discussing another composer’s work, my friend Danyel and I disagreed as to whether a conversation was a suitable model for a musical discourse. Meditating on the question, I thought of this score. Perhaps he may someday hear a realization of it that persuades him, perhaps not; either way, we will continue our conversations.

Andrew May is a composer, improviser, violinist, and computer musician; assistant director of the Sounds Modern concert series; and a teacher at the University of North Texas.

NO SMALL MATTER (AFTER PAULINE OLIVEROS), by SETH CLUETT

Seth Cluett is an artist and composer whose work ranges from photography and drawing to video, sound installation, concert music, and critical writing. His “subtle…seductive, immersive” (Artforum) work has been characterized as “rigorously focused and full of detail” (e/i) and “dramatic, powerful, and at one with nature” (The Wire). Exploring the territory between the senses, Cluett’s works are marked by a detailed attention to perception and to the role of sound in the creation of a sense of place, the workings of memory, and the experience of time. His research interests and critical writings investigate embodied cognition, sound in virtual and augmented reality, the media history of the loudspeaker, the history and documentation of sound in art practice, and architectural acoustics..

INNER COMPASS, by Susan Geaney

Iinspired by the works and philosophy of Pauline Oliveros. I like to create pieces that are accessible for all to explore and contribute in their own way. These pieces can be imagined and experienced privately or performed in any context and location. 

I’m a Composer and Improviser from Co. Kerry, Ireland. I’m interested in creating music that is deeply connected. My music asks performers to immerse themselves in a philosophy that facilitates a deeper listening and awareness to each other, the material, energy and space. Intuitive listening and responding remains the primary focus of my sound exploration across various creative disciplines. https://fortevilfruit.bandcamp.com/album/tempf
