Matana Roberts

Roulette Intermedium

Cecilia Lopez premieres new compositions written for a fresh quartet of exceptional long-time and recent collaborators. Together, the quartet explores the boundary between acoustic and electronic sound. Through live amplification and processing, instrumental timbres are altered, twisted, and blended into vivid aural hallucinations where individual voices lose themselves in a collective network of sound. Opening the night is Melissa Almaguer with a solo set of tap dance and percussion.

Cecilia Lopez's Filter Four

Roulette

A new live solo performance piece by composer, saxophonist, and sound experimentalist Matana Roberts, emerging from the COIN COIN project, moving between memory, imagination, and lived experience.
