Gestures of Nature is an informal concert of new music for violin, voice, live electronics & interactive visuals using MUGIC®, a motion sensing technology. We’ll begin with a demo by MUGIC creator Mari Kimura, followed by performances of four pieces of contemporary music that use interactive gesture to creatively embody the natural world – from bird calls to butterfly fractals; from atmospheric Rossby waves to New York Harbor tides. The artists will talk about their works and we’ll conclude with a Q&A! We welcome existing MUGIC users, musicians who’d like to learn more about motion sensing technology, and anyone looking to enjoy an afternoon of boundary-defying music during Governors Island Climate Week.
Featuring the Glass Clouds Ensemble, Mari Kimura, Johnny Tomasiello
