DXARTS Winter Concert: Into the Air

Digital Arts and Experimental Media presents Daniel Peterson’s latest music composition, Into the Air, which explores the ephemeral nature of sound and the paradox of being. Inspired in part by Jorge Luis Borges' Everything and Nothing, the 80-minute piece embodies both presence and absence, holding within it the traces of countless influences while remaining transient and unimaginable; idiosyncratic and universal. The piece fuses Parmegiani's De Natura Sonorum with Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32 through custom algorithms written in the audio programming language, SuperCollider. The stereo piece will be diffused in real-time across 20 speakers.
