Lecture-Concert: Introduction to recent works and performance of "pulse
radio II"
ABOUT
Composer, sound artist and media artist Samson Young will talk about his
recent works, including the "Anatomy of the String Quartet" touring
project. "The Anatomy of a String Quartet" is an essay on the potentials
of media technology as tools for augmenting, extending and reconfiguring
the musician’s body. The Anatomy of a String Quartet, at its core, is
performance-installation with/through a “prosthetically amplified”
string quartet. Each member of the quartet is monitored by a multitude
of sensing apparatus, from eye tracking glasses to brainwave sensors. He
will conclude his presentation with a 25-minutes laptop improvisation
"pulse radio II."
