Wir laden Sie recht herzlich zu einem Open CUBE Konzert am IEM ein.
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).
