Kronos Goes Techno !



4 Cast | May 5, 2007 • 7:30 PM | Alexander Kasser Theater

Kronos Quartet + Trimpin
| World Premiere!

Music is in the air… Aha! Quite literally!

You just need to figure out a way to capture it. 4 Cast, the new collaboration created by sound sculptor/composer/visual artist/inventor Trimpin
www.otherminds.org/shtml/Trimpin.shtml and the Kronos Quartet
www.kronosquartet.org, makes good on this poetic notion.

Using special software, 4 Cast translates data streams collected from the Internet, such as traffic flows, weather conditions, or seismic activity into a musical composition to be performed in real time. Mad Science @ its best!

Obviously, no two performances will ever be the same & conjures up memories of Robert Fripp's extemporaneous 'Slow Music Project.
