GET REALLY WIRED MUSIC FOR THE HOLIDAYS The Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra Comes to Princeton December 15, 2007 David Sarnoff Library Auditorium 7:30 PM 201 Washington Rd Princeton NJ Admission $10 per person at the door For information: 609-734-2636 It’s the time of year when the streets and houses glow and twinkle with festive lights. Everything’s wired and bright, including the Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra, the sonic ensemble that’s more plugged in than a city block. The Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra brings its arsenal of synthesizers, keyboards and bizarre machinery to the David Sarnoff Library Auditorium On Saturday, December 15th for an evening of truly electrifying and sonorous musical mischief. Doors open at 7:00 PM for this rare event, with refreshments on hand provided by Grovers Mill Coffee and McCaffrey's bakery, thanks in part to the support of the Princeton ACM/IEEE-CS under the initiative of Dr. Rebecca Mercuri. Admission is $10.00 for the general public; for more information, please call 609-734-2636. On the roster for the orchestra’s notorious ever changing, ever evolving membership are Howard Moscovitz, Greg Waltzer and Bill Fox. As a trio in their own right, they’re known as Xeroid Entity, creators of rhythmic and ambient otherworldly soundscapes. http://xeroid-entity.com Joining them will be special guests Brainstatik, featuring Robert Burger, Ken Palmer, Mike Hunter, Jim Silvestri and Glenn Robitaille. Combining ambient, world, progressive rock, and space music, Brainstatik takes audiences on uncharted improvisational journeys, shifting and mixing genres within each piece. Any self-respecting electronic chamber orchestra would be incomplete without the granddaddy of all electronic instruments: the theremin (the only instrument that’s played without being touched). Thereminist Kip Rosser will be on hand to weave the theremin’s haunting and beautiful voices into the mix. http://www.performancekr.com/theremin.html Taking the stage first will be Brainstatik, each member a certified electronic gear junkie. Guitars can sound like drums, keyboards can imitate guitars and drums can play keyboards. The resulting performance often sounds rehearsed and composed, but in reality it all just happens in the moment,. Brainstatik thrives on taking their music right to the edge every time they perform. http://www.brainstatik.com During the second set of the evening, Moscovitz, Waltzer, Fox and Rosser will complete the ensemble. The fully formed Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra will perform a collaborative exploration of the vast territories of harmony, rhythm, melody and silence. Think Vangelis meets Sci-Fi with a dash of Brian Eno. The evening will be set against the stunning visual backdrops of video artist Hong Waltzer, who will bridge sight and sound by creating her fluid and colorful “living paintings” that respond to the music in real time, Expand your ears, eyes, mind, and your definition of music – get really wired on the sight and sounds of the Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra.
