*World Premiere
Stations and Resonances will bring together many pieces exploring sites of historical infrastructure in New York City, focusing on its water and train technologies. Historical routes of the Old Croton Aqueduct and the Interborough Rapid Transit provide sounds as well as structural elements to each composition. This performance features the premiere of a condensation of space into light for voice and electronics, the first time many of these pieces will be performed together.
“Paula Matthusen cleans ears with her electroacoustic music. Her use of resonating materials and clear sounds penetrates the space in a variety of patterns.”
