The Virginia Tech School of Performing Arts presents 2023 New Music + Technology Festival on Monday, May 1, 2023 at the Creativity and Innovation District Residence Hall on the campus of Virginia Tech.
Student creativity and innovation will be on full display at the upcoming New Music + Technology Festival. The three-day event will celebrate the conjunction of experimental music and originative technology and will showcase a variety of performance styles from dance to multimedia to live coding.
Clare Suess, graduate student in music with a focus in creative technologies, designed and fabricated her own instruments that the Virginia Tech New Music Ensemble will use during the performance. Suess made the instruments at the Creativity and Innovation District’s makerspaces using a variety of processes.
In addition to building her own instruments, Suess has animated a musical score that the musicians, including Hutchins, will play. The video projection is “a compilation of short animations that I have made based off of drawings and sketches I've done throughout this whole experience,” Suess said.
Other musical performances on Monday include the Virginia Tech Percussion Ensemble and a choreographed work by Scotty Harwig, assistant professor in movement, performance, and integrated media in the School of Performing Arts. The dance will showcase his students’ performance abilities throughout his movement piece.
Admission is free to all events.
Creativity and Innovation District Residence Hall is located at 185 Kent Street in Blacksburg, VA on the campus of Virginia Tech.
