Seeing Sound ... and getting ready for Slippages

I'm in Vancouver now, and working on the last edits for the video work I am creating to accompany the world premiere of Slippages on October 5th. I am delighted to share UBC Orchestra Director Jonathan Girard's take on what we are doing:“Deborah’s gorgeous score presents a thrilling challenge. How do we, as musicians, interpret visual art?” explained Girard.“We want the music to speak to the cool beauty of the work, but also the ideas behind it: of flux, of change, of loss. Just as the natural world has a life of its own, a kind of agency apart from human influence, we want the music, through improvisation, to have a life of its own that goes above and beyond the performers.” For those of you not able to attend in person - the performance will be LIVE STREAMED - so I hope you have a chance to check it out!!Getting very excited ...
