Open CUBE - Reiko Yamada & Robert Huber
Dienstag 28.03.2017 um 19h00
Small Small Things: Music and installation for humans and Drosophila
von Reiko Yamada und Robert Huber
Abschlusspräsentation der Artist-Residency von Reiko Yamada
Small Small Things: Music and installation for humans and Drosophila is
an interdisciplinary performance through which the audience will explore
surprisingly deep connections with fruit flies (drosophila). The
performance consists in an orchestrated combination of site-specific
acousmatic compositions, a digital slide presentation and a series of
sound experimentations with drosophila.
Small Small Things is the product of a collaboration between
composer/sound artist Reiko Yamada and biologist and fruit fly behavior
specialist Robert Huber (Bowling Green State University). As an
artist-in-residence at IEM this year, Yamada has been exploring new,
hybrid media in her own work, and this performance will take place at
IEM's CUBE, using a 24-channel hemisphere audio environment.
This premiere performance is made possible with help from the Institute
of Molecular Biosciences at University of Graz.
Composer and sound artist Reiko Yamada is originally from Hiroshima,
Japan and currently resides in North America and Austria. Her works
includes chamber, orchestral and electroacoustic music, sound art
installations and interdisciplinary collaborations. In recent years, her
work has centered on research in the aesthetic concept of imperfection
in a variety of contexts, all the while maintaining a constant concern
for empathy and carefully honest representation of the human and
geographical contexts from which she finds inspiration.
Yamada holds a doctorate in composition from McGill University
(Montreal, Canada), and was a 2015-16 Fellow at the Radcliffe Institute
for Advanced Study of Harvard University (Boston, USA). She is currently
an Artist-in-Residence at Institut für Elektronische Musik und Akustik
(IEM) of Kunst Uni Graz (University of Performing Arts in Graz, Austria).
