todd reynolds:
still life with microphone, V. 3.1

Todd curates an evening of music that features members of the Still Life with Microphone Team in solo sets and installations.

Featuring Bass Clarinetist/Composer Michael Lowenstern, Sound Artist Jody Elff, and Video Artist Luke DuBois, with guest composer/performer Christopher Tignor of Slow Six

Michael Lowenstern's critically acclaimed "Ten Children" is the very definition of organic, authentic compostion and self-production, infused with jazz and pop sensibilities to go alongside of the pinnacle of classical chops. In a moment of inspiration, Pierre Boulez said… "Mr. Lowenstern, you play with too much character". No… Seriously. Sound Artist Jody Elff regularly plays sound designer for artists like Laurie Anderson, Bang On A Can, Ethel, TR and Still Life, but it is his sound art and some live performance which take center stage on this night. Video Artist Luke DuBois, a founder of the Freight Elevator Quartet and a 'soloist' in both real-time audio and video improvisation has been boing-boinged for his piece, Billboard. He was recently featured in Harpers Weekly and is quickly becoming known for his practice of "time-lapse phonography", with a record out soon on Cantaloupe Music. Not only will you see his live interactive video art driven by the sound of a violin , but you'll see Casablanca in 10 minutes as well… Christopher Tignor of Slow Six rounds out the evening with a spatially tripped out tune for Todd and Tignor, maybe more, using his signature brand of data-cushioning Max/MSP programming.

Reynolds, a fixture of the New York's music scene and one of the driving forces behind the string quartet known as Ethel, has played and collaborated with artists as diverse as Betty Buckley, Steve Reich, Todd Rundgren, Joe Jackson, Steve Coleman, Yo-Yo Ma, the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Reynolds recently received critical acclaim for his Carnegie Hall debut as soloist in the premiere of Neil Rolnick's Concerto for iFiddle with the American Composers Orchestra.
