Jason Tait, Debashis Sinha, Compost
JUNE 6, doors 7:30pm, show 8:00pm

A triple-feature concert with Debashis Sinhas, Jason Tait and Compost that explores the meditative, trance-inducing power of sound. Sinhas’ quadraphonic sound performance, Rückstreuung, uses the principles of subharmonic synthesis to create an immersive sound field for the audience, responding in real time to the architecture and the interplay of frequencies. This improvised performance interacts with the moment to offer a hearing experience that is rooted in traditions of meditation and active listening. Jason Tait will be premiering a new work, a series of structured improvisations for modular and analog synthesizers, sculpting an all enveloping sound bath for listeners to lose themselves in. Compost will be premiering, Decomposed, a multi-movement through-composed work for Fender Rhodes, electric bass, drums, spoken word samples, and projected time-lapse photography. Collective improvisations will be recorded and then decomposed into harmonically simple, polyrhythmic cellular motifs, mimicking the connective roles of mycelium.

Using the beautifully resonant grand piano as a template, composers and pianists continue to push further, contending with all manners of extensions: processing live and fixed electronics, preparing the strings with any number of foreign materials, and augmenting the sound with additional keyboard instruments. Madeline Hildebrand and Everett Hopfer take audiences on an exploration of these dazzling soundscapes with a program of keyboard repertoire that defies expectation. Cellist Natanielle Felicitas, is renowned for her cross-genre collaborative in Winnipeg’s music scene and will be presenting a rare solo performance featuring a premiere of new cello and electronics work. Long-time collaborators and contributors to Cluster, but never at the same time, Sarah Jo Kirsch and Madeline Hildebrand bring a musical offering about feeling way too much in a world of contradictions. Oscillating between the emotional extremes that roil in this masterfully selected program of pieces, Kirsch and Hildebrand presents listeners with a salve for the ache and shines a poetically hopeful light on the absurdity of it all.
