PULSE – Cluster Festival
Jason Tait, Debashis Sinha, Compost
A triple-feature concert with Debashis Sinhas, Jason Tait and Compost that explores the meditative, trance-inducing power of sound. Sinhas’ quadraphonic sound performance, Rückstreuung, uses the principles of subharmonic synthesis to create an immersive sound field for the audience, responding in real time to the architecture and the interplay of frequencies. This improvised performance interacts with the moment to offer a hearing experience that is rooted in traditions of meditation and active listening. Jason Tait will be premiering a new work, a series of structured improvisations for modular and analog synthesizers, sculpting an all enveloping sound bath for listeners to lose themselves in. Compost will be premiering, Decomposed, a multi-movement through-composed work for Fender Rhodes, electric bass, drums, spoken word samples, and projected time-lapse photography. Collective improvisations will be recorded and then decomposed into harmonically simple, polyrhythmic cellular motifs, mimicking the connective roles of mycelium.
