Assuming the role of a contemporary "Contemporary Classical" composer, Keith has also made the case that this music is a ‘popular form' by serially choosing to release on labels intent on bringing such niche music to a wider audience. The past couple of years Keith has focused on realizations of a "Live Electronic Music" that utilizes both software and hardware — improvisation with a laptop and modular rig both on stage. Sean McCann has meshed acoustic instrumentation back into the possibilities of new sound fields, painting pastoral landscapes with voicings near and clear. Human voice is never far away, even if phonemes are reconfigured or processed. McCann will convene an ensemble to present a mostly-acoustic chamber-based piece, augmented by live electronics, to be preceded by a sound poetry / tape music piece.Jessika Kenney keenly considers the play of frequencies, and how song acts as a conduit for words and meaning. Though her practice includes many a studied approach, she finds a continued freedom in musics of rebellion; her brushes with the Indonesian punk scene resonate.For this event, Kenney will perform her new work — "This Is My House" — a gritty live-electronics-affected sung-recitation of The Persian Poems of Kathy Acker.
