HARVESTWORKS Digital Media Arts Center Presents

The Alternate Controllers Series
Monday March 28: Bruce Gremo and Jeff Feddersen

Harvestworks, a non-profit arts organization that provides opportunities for the public to see and hear innovative artists, presents "Alternate Controllers," a series of 8 concerts focusing on the modern intersections of art and technology. Central to this series is the exciting way that musicians and composers assimilate various machines into their creative processes. From Bruce Gremo and Jeff Fedderson's compositions for shakuhachi and digital mouthpiece to Andrea Polli's translation of evolving climate data into live sound sculpture, the presenting artists not only expand the boundaries of traditional instrumentation, but also humanize electronics through creative means. This concert is free and open to the public.

On Monday, March 28th, Bruce Gremo and Jeff Fedderson will present the current version of the “Cilia”, an electronic instrument/controller inspired by the Japanese Shakuhachi (a traditional vertical bamboo flute). The Cilia mouthpiece and track pads are capable of responding to the shakuhachi's complex way of generating pitch, providing direct control over the computer’s sound generating processes. Bruce Gremo will perform two pieces with it, using an application written with MaxMSP.
