The first in a series of monthly electroacoustic music concerts will take place on Friday, May 9th at 7:00 PM in the phenomenal new Theater at Sweetwater. The Theater is equipped with a very nice sounding JBL 7-1 surround system, which is complimented by a Lares system. If you are not familiar with the Lares system, basically it senses the sound in the room and then diffuses it over ~ 50 strategically placed speakers. This system makes the room sound like it is any one of a variety of larger halls. The venue was designed by Russ Berger and the acoustics are absolutely incredible as well. It is truly a musical instrument in its own right. So this is an amazing place for an “Intense Listening Experience”.
Since this is our first E/A concert, we are beginning in the simplest way possible by programming the premier of my new CD, “Rarefactions”, a tape only piece. However, in subsequent concerts the plan is to feature specific composers who will ideally be present and speak about their work. We will be programming visual music videos and interactive computer/instrumental works as well.
If you are in the area please consider yourself invited to the Sweetwater facility located at 5501 US Highway 30 West in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The concert is open to the public and is free.
Best to all,
Michael Rhoades
