"(05) Suites For Experimental Music"

In the case of traditional concert halls, assumptions of how attention should be spatially organized have often been relegated to a very strict (social) order. In an attempt to both integrate and collide these prescriptions, this work seeks to explore architectural performance through specific "musical" works that resist models of conventional artistic and social practice. Rather than creating a monolithic and rigid spatialized dogma for experimental music, this figuration seeks to allow for simultaneous scenarios to exist within a single site, mutating a kit of parts through pressures curated from a selection of "musical" works. -Seth Weiner 2010

Ensemble 303 presents a concert of wildly varying approaches to the sonic possibilities of the quartet. Featuring John Cage's Four6, as well as Casey Thomas Anderson's rails, Scott Cazan's Outliers, John P. Hastings' noise / tone / pulse / metal, and Mike Winter's room and seams. Each work takes the elemental simplicity seen in Cage's number pieces to varying extremes, yielding an elegant series of sound works that prove that the quartet is an orchestra of potentials.

after Dog Star Orchestra 5

for Taylan Susam 

program a festival or event of experimental music and/or performance that consists only of works with indeterminate elements that might permit extremely minimal realizations. then, perform the most minimal realization of each of the works, holding fast to the instructions and minimums presented within each score, and not taking into consideration any additional external specifications, recommendations or preferences of the composer or other interested parties. additionally, feel free to choose works you're interested in, but do not program for variety - in the end, several (or all) of the works may in fact be silent, or barely present, or may nearly (or exactly) resemble one another.

presented by Adam Overton, the evening before his birthday - come celebrate!
