Merce! 091028

I attended the Merce Cunningham Memorial event at the Park Ave. Armory last night. Lots of friendly faces in the audience and on the "bandstand." Every time I see/hear a MCDC performance, I can't help but smile through most of it. The dance is so playful, exploratory, natural; the sound often has a similar manner, but other times it really exists on another complimentary plane altogether. I took some iPhone pics and a 3-min audio snap with Voice Memo. I was feeling fairly anxious about a composing deadline on my way there, but I'm really glad to have made it uptown for this once in a lifetime "Event."

The musicians were on the catwalk-like area. Fuzzily pictured here are (L to R) Stephan Moore (standing), Miguel Frasconi, and John King (seated).


John King - laptop, Miguel Frasconi - glass & electronics, possibly others too...

  1. Thanks for posting this, Chris!

    Yes, the others were Richard Teitelbaum, laptop (ableton live); o.blaat, laptop (max/msp); and Andrew Culver, laptop (ableton live). I was in fact playing only glass: one large amplified brandy snifter with various object buzzing against it.

    Thanks again!
