Pamela Z and Elliott Sharp :: May 14, 2009; 8:30 pm :: Roulette, 20 Greene Street, New York City.

Pamela Z will perform works for voice, electronics, and interactive video (including a small segment from her work-in-progress Baggage Allowance). Z processes her voice in real time and manipulates sampled sounds and projected video using Max MSP and Isadora software on a Mac Book Pro with gesture-activated MIDI controllers.

Elliott Sharp will present new works as part of his ongoing Tectonics project. Tectonics is the name under which Sharp performs his solo electro acoustic music. The live concerts are performed on his 8-string guitar bass, a laptop computer running a variety of applications, hardware processors, plus various electronically modified horns.

This concert is a part of the 2009 Harvestworks Inside performance series “Gestures and Responsive Media”, focusing on modern experiments in performance technology, produced in partnership with Roulette’s Mixology Festival. Central to this series is the exciting way that live performers are exploring the use of gesture to control computers and building technological environments for free, improvisatory play. The presenting artists not only expand the boundaries of traditional performance and instrumentation, but also humanize electronics through creative means.
