Summary

The Library hosted a concert featuring the music of Morton Subotnik. "Trembling," an early foray into "Ghost" electronics, is the opener for the world premiere of a new Subotnick work, a 30 minute opera without words. Conceived for Joan La Barbara, "the queen of vocal experimentation" (The Wire), it's an extraordinary aural and visual experience: the composer's voice interacts with and controls the Buchla modular synthesizer in a "performed" light-and-image environment created live by German light/video artist Lillevan. Performers included Subotnik, La Barbara, Lillevan, Kathleen Supové and Todd Reynolds.
