Squeaky Wheel: Third Eye Laptop Orchestra Performance


THIRD EYE LAPTOP ORCHESTRA PERFORMANCE
presented in collaboration w/ the Music Department + Digital Music Production Minor at Buffalo State
THU., APR. 4TH @ 7:30 PM       LOCATION: LOUIS P. CIMINELLI RECITAL HALL AT BUFFALO STATE COLLEGE

Hans Tammen’s Third Eye Laptop Orchestra uses Earle Brown’s open form composition idea as a starting point to create a large multi-movement piece, performed by an ensemble of laptop performers, analog synth players, circuit benders and other electronic musicians.
Tammen has presented the Third Eye Laptop Orchestra in Mexico, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine, and throughout the US. In each place, he works with a new set of local musicians during a 4-hour masterclass, after which the group publicly premieres a score that is rearranged with each performance. Watch a video of a Laptop Orchestra performance in St. Petersburg, Russia.
This performance, presented in collaboration with the Music Department + the Digital Music Production Minor at Buffalo State College, is free and open to the public.
If you are an electronic musician who is interested in participating in the masterclass and performance, contact goda@squeaky.org or call 716-884-7172 for details. The workshop will be taking place on Thursday April 4 from 1-5 PM at the Louis P. Ciminelli Recital Hall.
