Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents "Sounds in Space" as part of Cube Fest 2024 titled "Immersive Indigenous Experiences" at 9:00 PM on Saturday, August 24, 2024 inside The Cube.

"Sounds in Motion" features performers Angela McArthur, Weilu Ge, Matias Vilaplana Stark and Eric Lyon.

Angela McArthur:
Pankopat is a sound work centered around a community of elderly Nepalese women in Woolwich, southeast London. These women have migrated to the U.K. with a sense of connection borne out of a shared military history between the Gurkhas and British army.

Weilu Ge:
Tell is a spatial soundscape composition that explores stories and music expressions of the Qiang people, an Indigenous group since the ancient time living in the mountains in Central China. The original field recording part was collected during a field trip visiting a historical Qiang village in Sichuan, China.

Matias Vilaplana Stark:
Funeral for a Whale developed from my curiosity regarding the funeral practices of whales and other marine mammals, some of whom carry their deceased relative’s body for days as a manifestation of their mourning.

Eric Lyon:
A Sudden Light was commissioned by Annie Stevens as part of her project, The Memory Palace, a concert of music and dance created for the Cube in 2024. My composition pursues the idea of music as a “memory palace,” working with performed percussion sounds that reappear in transfigured forms.

Admission is $10.00 and free for Virginia Tech students with ID for each performance.
