Allard van Hoorn presents a new series of images shot from Battery Park facing Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty using Rosco cinematic gels, applied in the film-industry and theater to create specific moods, of which he will play the wavelength-patterns as musical scores by mapping them in a graphical Moog synthesizer.
Drummer/composer Susie Ibarra’s immersive performance uses polyrhythms as a model for human interdependence. She conceives the musical structure of Fragility as a ‘game piece’ in which the rules require performers to take turns conducting action: shifting roles and perspectives in live experimentation. Ibarra leads the audience into a mesmerizing musical environment as multi-layered, expansive sonic textures flood the room.
Susie Ibarra is a percussionist known for her innovative style and cultural dialogue as a composer, improviser, and sound artist. She is interested in the intersection of tradition and avant-garde and how this informs and inspires interdisciplinary art, education, and public service. Ibarra creates live and immersive music that explores rhythm, Indigenous practices, sensory perception and interaction with the natural world.
DreamTime Ensemble is Jennifer Choi (violin), Yves Dharamraj (cello) Claudia Acuña (vocals), Yuka Honda (electronics), Jake Landau (guitars, keyboard), Susie Ibarra (drumset, percussion)
