Concert #1
Ethel performs
Speech Music--The groundbreaking works by
Scott Johnson, Steve Reich, JacobTV (world premiere)
May 7, Wednesday at 7 P.M.
Formed in 1998, and comprised of four world-class, Juilliard-trained composer/musicians: Cornelius Dufallo (violin), Ralph Farris (viola), Dorothy Lawson (cello), and Mary Rowell (violin), ETHEL performs the three major “speech music” composers and the works that launched the technique. “Scott Johnson invented one of the most fascinating and profound new treatments of text in the past 30 years, ‘speech-music,’ which is the sampled manipulation of pitch-specific bits and phrases of speech and its use in new music,” says festival curator Preston Stahly. "The technique evolved from Johnson, through Steve Reich, and then through JacobTV. We are very excited that Scott will discuss how he invented the technique and Jacob will talk about how Reich’s and Johnson’s work influenced his style.”
JacobTV premire: The evening concludes with the world premiere of JacobTV’s new work written for ETHEL, Take a Wild Guess, for string quartet and playback.
Don’t miss this exciting concert!

Music of Gregor Huebner and Mike Block The second concert of the Tribeca New Music Festival features another amazing New York-born group--the Sirius String Quartet--which includes 2002 Grammy-nominee violinist and composer Gregor Huebner-- as they perform works from their new CD In Between--The Music of Gregor Huebner. Gregor will perform with fellow quartet members violinist Fung Chern Hwei, violist Ron Lawrence, and cellist Mike Block.

Mike Block, with over 100 performances in 2007, plays in many genres and groups, including his own band for which he sings and writes, featuring Kyle Sanna on guitar, Mat Fieldes on bass, and Damien Bassman on drums.

Concert #3
Songs for Voice, Loops and Toys
Theo Bleckmann
May 9, Friday at 7 P.M
The highly versatile and gifted vocalist/composer Theo Bleckmann will be performing Songs for Voice, Loops and Toys, a solo voice program of a cappella, electronically processed and improvised all-vocal music. Incorporating technology ranging in prices from 99 cents to $999, Bleckmann will draw from his vast range in jazz, new music and performance art with a repertoire that includes Guillaume de Machaut, Meredith Monk, jazz standards, The Beatles, and his own compositions and improvisations. In stark contrast to the multitude of styles and languages of the first set, the second half will be an excerpt from his 50 minute oeuvre Anteroom, a meditative and languid vocal soundscape that aims to envelop, soothe and ultimately transcend the listener. http://www.theobleckmann.com

On the program—Bleckmann describes his music as follows:
“Duet for One is for a cappella voice ingressive singing (vocalizing on the inhale) to create a Möbius strip-like effect with harmonies and rhythmic patterns varying throughout the piece.
Static Still is a melody for voice and toys
Wa-lai-o – This 1967 composition is by Meredith Monk
Douce Dame Jolie – by Guillaume de Machaut, is an arrangement of Douce Dame which deals, of course, with the ever-present subject in medieval music: unrequited love.
Lili Marleen – This is my vocal-loop-arrangement of the popular WW II hit from my most recent release, Berlin - Songs of Love and War, Peace and Exile.
Channel Surfing – A fast and furious structured improvisation that switches between eight different, very short loops to create a rhythmic pattern within almost chaotic harmonic and sonic variations.
- Intermissionn -
Anteroom – This extensive all-vocal composition and improvisation came out of the urge to create a long, meditative state in which no melody exists by itself. Only long notes and sounds build the foundation for this almost ambient sound sculpture. Very much like the beginning of life itself, only the most basic elements are present, elongated by loops and reverb but over time and mutation develop into more complex structures, eventually blossoming into melodies and sometimes even counterpoint. Anteroom is the entryway to a main room; a holding pen of reflection with nothing to do but wait and listen.”
