Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents "Sounds in Motion" as part of Cube Fest 2024 titled "Immersive Indigenous Experiences" at 9:00 PM on Friday, August 23, 2024 inside The Cube.
"Sounds in Motion" features performers DA Mekonnen, Shawn Greenlee, Arvcúken Noquisi, and Aline R S S de Souza.
DA Mekonnen:
DA Mekonnen's new experimental jazz project, dragonchild, brings the performance of BLACK: Constellation X in this immersive, multimedia spatial sound performance. Conceived and transmitted by DA Mekonnen (founder of Debo Band), dragonchild draws on decades of musical experimentation, embodied spiritual practice, and critical thinking—culminating in its debut work, BLACK.
Shawn Greenlee:
Sluicer is a performance system for electroacoustic improvisation on high density loudspeaker arrays with high order ambisonics. In this work, two 20-voice, erratic synthesizers operate as a roving “chorus” under the player’s direction.
Arvcúken Noquisi:
In Enhake Konawv, I am using seed beads and handmade beadwork as instrumentation in combination with my granular synthesis Max patch.
Aline R S S de Souza:
Aline de Souza, performer (text, narration, movement choreography, and images)
Brandon Hale, sound technician (composition, music technology, and sound spatialization):
This piece refers to my background living in Brazil and my specific story of migration away from a family where my dogs and I experienced a variety of forms of violence.
Admission is $10.00 and free for Virginia Tech students with ID for each performance.
