Everything all at once (or, straight up vibes): A Hans Zoomer musical catastrophe in two parts (or three projects), volume 1 Date/time:: Tuesday Dec 5, 4:30-5:15pm Where:: Transmedia Lab, Accolade West Building Room 103, York University Campus What:: You are cordially invited to have your face melted by the Fall 2023 Electro-Acoustic Orchestra class! This evolution of our 12 weeks of refinement and playing (personal development of instruments, group development of composing/improvising with gestures, integration of OSC networked signals) will produce some straight up vibes, most certainly avoid musical catastrophe, will evoke shades of the great Hans Zoomer, and surely everyone (all 26 members) will play...all at once at times. 2-3 pieces will be played in a 40 minute set. Then hang around and speak to your favourite EAO class member! image credit: pixray vqgan model with prompt "Zoomer avoids musical catastrophe by playing everything all at once"

An Exploration of Electroacoustic Music: Instrument Design, Composition and Reception

Thursday, September 07, 4:30 PM
ACW 103

This project examines composing and listening in electroacoustic music contexts from several perspectives. It provides an overview of electroacoustic music analysis and its relationship to scholarship on listening and embodied music cognition. Starting off with free improvising and composing with electroacoustic music, building upon previous research that has explored a listener-based approach to analyzing electroacoustic music, this project investigates the audience's listening experience and its relationship to the various sonic attributes that result from the creative process. Accompanying the creative component, this project presents a preliminary experiment that explores the dynamics of audience listening by designing both concert-based and on-line listening sessions that capture reflections from the audience's perspective. The goal of this project is to broaden conversations around existing frameworks for electroacoustic music analysis to include an expanded understanding of listening – both in terms of composing and audience reception – as a holistic, embodied, and collaborative process within a creative context.

Xi Lu will present for 20 - 30 minutes followed by time for questions and discussion.
