After a wired holiday celebration last December, The Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra returns to the David Sarnoff Library Auditorium on Saturday, March 15th with its mountains of synthesizers, keyboards, sequencers, gizmos, gadgets and electro-gear. Doors open at 7:00 PM for this ear-expanding event, with refreshments on hand provided by Grovers Mill Coffee and McCaffrey's bakery. Admission is $10.00 for the general public. Friends of Sarnoff Library receive a five dollar discount. This time around, the infamous, mutating orchestra personnel have been hand-picked by founders Howard Moscovitz and Greg Waltzer. During the first half of the evening, various members will be performing short sets of electrifying compositions before returning in the second half as the full Chamber Orchestra in a sizzling celebration of Spring. The audience will meet Fringe Element, a quartet of electro-musicians: Michael Victor, Greg Waltzer, Jose Murcia and James Lacey. Their wholly spontaneous creations will lead everyone out of the ordinary and into a world of unpredictable, flowing soundscapes. Their two CDs, Rampant Biology and Organic Chemistry are available at http://electro-music.com More information is available at their web site: http://fringe-element.com Another of the evening’s permutations will see Greg Waltzer leaving the Fringe to build lush, ambient sonic constructs with partners Howard Moscovitz and Bill Fox. Together, they become the resonant force called Xeroid Entity. http://xeroid-entity.com The evening’s mutations continue with Howard Moscovitz freed of the trio to perform solo, bringing us deep into the reverberating harmonies and silences of his own personal universe. He’ll then be joined by thereminist Kip Rosser (Remember the theremin? The instrument that’s played without being touched!) http://www.performancekr.com/theremin.html The duo will present their dream-soaked, evocative improvisations, soon to be released on their CD, Exploration of the Black Exterior. The metamorphosis will be completed in the evening’s second half, as all personnel become the Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra. Their composition will be an entirely new experiment in which the music is “conducted” by utilizing a complex numbering system, under the direction of Howard Moscovitz. This feast for the ears is also going to be a banquet for the eyes. State-of-the-art visuals will send the audience on a parallel trip presented by Azimuth Visuals. http://gregwaltzer.com/azimuth/azimuth.html Premier diva of computer-generated abstract images, animations and original artwork, Hong Waltzer will be processing and mixing video in real time. Inspired by the music being created onstage, her dynamic collages bring even more dimension to the oceans of music. Perfect for electronic music enthusiasts and old fashioned music-lovers alike, it’s also a great time to treat young musicians to sights and sounds they’ve never experienced before. Don’t miss an evening of boundary-breaking music making – get a real buzz – kick off Spring with the Electro-Music Chamber Orchestra.
