Music Department Presents Electronica Concert Nov. 29

The College of the Canyons music department will present its fall “Electronica Musique & Multimedia Concert” on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at the Black Box Theater.

Featuring new works by 12 up-and-coming student composers, the concert will feature a variety of music, dance and lights that will expand and challenge the audience’s expectations, leaving them with a sense of wonder and a new appreciation for this timeless medium.

“Audiences will have a unique opportunity to partake of an awe-inspiring fusion of visual and sonic elements that blend synthetic timbres with acoustic instruments and voices,” said Dr. Bernardo Feldman, chair of the college’s music department. “They will be transported to unimaginable places where anything could happen. Along with it, abstract visuals will complement the experience, providing an intoxicating encounter of the senses.”

The concert will also feature performances by distinguished COC alumni Daniel Lowry, John Kirk, and Chris Scott.

A virtuoso guitarist, Lowry will mix live-electronics with live guitar in order to create his trademark dramatic and cinematic style.

Without the use of voice, John Kirk (Bio-Hazard) expertly manipulates synthetic voices and creates a musical narrative within a computer.

“The results are both fascinating and enigmatic,” said Feldman.

Chris Scott (Cloud Seeker) specializes in creating energetic and dance-inciting landscapes that manage to be both accessible and intriguing.

“Electronica” will be held at 7 p.m. at the Black Box Theater. Admission is free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
