Convergence Research: Music for Comic Relief

Wednesday, January 26
6:00pm

Location:
Blaffer Art Museum

Inspired by the Molly Zuckerman-Hartung: Comic Relief exhibition, the students from Dr. Chapman Welch’s Electronic Composition (MUSI 4122) course at the Moores School of Music created new work for this one-night-only event.

In the class, students were introduced to electronic music history and theory, as well as a variety of recording techniques. Building on this knowledge, they composed their fixed media works using pre-recorded sounds manipulated by custom-built, software samplers.

Featuring works by:
Miles Bi, Frank Eddy, Antonio Sanz Escallón, Mojgan Misaghi, Huy Nguyen, Sorin Peña, Aaron Perez, Alex Perez, Benjamin Petree, and David Sigh
