Amnon
Wolman and Friends
Amnon
Wolman and friends, Jonathan Chen, Andy Graydon, David Grubbs, John
Jannone, Jessica Pavone, and Zach Seldess, will present a new work.
Amnon Wolman is a sound artist and composer whose work with diversified
forces of musicians is grounded in an essential interest in experimentation
and a belief that music as an art form expresses many dissimilar
ideas of beauty. His interest in technology and in issues of time
guided him, in recent years, towards electro-acoustic pieces that
are based on their own original audio materials and towards gallery
sound installations that places an evolving sound with complementary
visuals, in a small space. In the performance-pieces he attempts
to emphasize the interaction between live performers, the technology,
and the composer as collaboration among equal partners. He is the
Director of the Center for Computer Music at Brooklyn College, and
a professor of composition at the Conservatory of Music and at the
Graduate Center of the City University of New York. His music was
awarded prizes at the Prix Ars Electronica, Musica Nova Prague,
and other international competitions, and he is the recipient
of many fellowships including Villa Bellagio, Yaddo, McDowell, Illinois
Arts Council and others.
