Circuit Bridges: Up to Upstate

(NEW YORK, NEW YORK) Circuit Bridges and SUNY Buffalo State are collaborating on Circuit Bridges: Up to Upstate, a concert featuring electroacoustic music, on March 26, 2015 at Gallery MC, 549 W 52nd St, New York, New York. The concert features work by Linda Antas, Hubert Howe, Dave Seidel, Whitney George, Tomás Henriques, Sabrina Peña Young, and a special performance by composer/guitarist/rapper/Di.J. Gene Pritsker, who will celebrate the first anniversary of Circuit Bridges by re-mixing music from the first season.

Half of the program, Circuit Bridges: Up to Upstate, is organized by composers Sabrina Peña Young and Tomás Henriques, and features composers from SUNY Buffalo State, where Dr. Henriques is Director of the Program in Digital Music and head of the Music Theory and Composition. The second half of the program is curated by Circuit Bridges, based in New York City, and features Dave Seidel, a composer/performer who works with electronics in improvised and composed idioms. He will be performing Prism, Mirror, Lens on a Shnth, a recently-invented electronic instrument, and processed in real time by Csound, which is in turn controlled by the performer using a device called a rePatcher. His CD ~60 Hz was released by Irritable Hedgehog in 2014. George Grella in The Brooklyn Rail rated it the “best electronic music” of 2014. Hubert Howe, Director of the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival and Executive Director of the New York Composers Circle, will present Inharmonic Fantasy No. 2. Composer and digital artist Linda Antas will present her audiovisual work All That Glitters and Goes Bump in the Night. Composer Whitney George will present the world premiere of a new work for piano and video.

Circuit Bridges is a monthly concert series dedicated to highlighting the community of electroacoustic music creators. Founded in 2014 by Robert Voisey and under the artistic direction of David Morneau and Melissa Grey, Circuit Bridges strives to explore all music under the electroacoustic umbrella. This includes but is not limited to sonic art, radio art, glitch, circuit bending, electronica, real-time improvisation, network performance, audiovisual composition,

Percussion 101: How to Play Hand Crash Cymbols

Young Girl Plays Cymbals The hand cymbals (or crash cymbals ) are extremely versatile percussion instruments . The hand cymbals are used in the military, drum and bugle corps , the orchestra, and wind ensembles. Proper percussion hand cymbal technique takes many years of practice and hard work, as well as stamina and upper body strength. The most common use of the hand cymbals is in the drum line, whether in a high school band or a professional drum and bugle corps. Two cymbals are held by straps to the cymbal player's hands.

In the orchestra setting, where the crash cymbal is often reserved for music accents and shorter music passages, the percussion player does...

Machinima Magic using Moviestorm, Final Cut, and Photoshop

For those who have been wondering about the hiatus here at the New Music Resource, wonder no more! The past six months I have been working on a sci-fi machinima musical Libertaria: The Virtual Opera . Created almost entirely in the machinima software platform Moviestorm and scored with a catchy combo of electronic music, film scores, and dramatic vocals, Libertaria has been an incredible collaborative project. Moviestorm has been an excellent and inexpensive way to create an entire epic sci-fi tale for a minimal amount of resources. Almost three years ago I started using Moviestorm for a variety of video projects, and then decided to make an entire feature length musical using only machinima. The project proved challenging, involved a couple of dozen singers, animators, and other artistic professionals volunteering their talent and resources to create an incredible feature. W atch a the lo-res version of  the song Pilar of the Underground from Libertaria: The Virtual Opera : ...
