Composer-performers Antonia Barnett-McIntosh and Jessie Marino’s Susceptible Chambers is a new EMPAC-commissioned work that draws lines between the worlds of sound art, handcrafts, and experimental theater. It begins with the re-construction of a simple microphone. Composed from manifold permutations of “extended” microphones, the composer-performers are experimenting with different filters and casings as well as speakers, light, and color arrangements. Antonia and Jessie are creating a new performance that draws the audience into an unusual and playful sonic and visual world, and challenges generally accepted practices of today’s electronic music, and contemporary music more broadly.
