Ancient Instruments and New Technologies: Dan Joseph, Loren Dempster and Miguel Frasconi.
The Old Stone House, a historic interpretive center and community resource in Park Slope, presents a concert of contemporary music featuring composer and hammer dulcimer player Dan Joseph with cellist Loren Dempster and glass instrument specialist Miguel Frasconi. Veterans of both the Downtown and Bay Area experimental avant-gardes, these three musicians are drawn together by a shared interest in merging natural acoustic materials with contemporary technology. While Dempster and Joseph have maintained an active collaboration since 2002, melding a lyrical minimalism with ambient improvisation, with performances in New York and San Francisco this will be their first collaboration with Frasconi. The program will include a mix of solos, duos and trios mixing traditional and non-traditional instruments with live computer processing. More

'Prime Time One' is the first in a series of music works that change constantly for thousands of years, using only one-minute of repeating recorded audio. Inspired by the dream of making a recording that is different each time it is played, these pieces use repeating phrases of durations with prime number ratios and only one minute of recorded audio, some of which is silence, to produce works that evolve for centuries. 'Prime Time One' uses single sideband shortwave radio, field recordings, and processing as the source, created from the ether and environment. An accompanying film is being developed.
