Concert: Moving Sounds Festivals 2010: Jack Quartet

Moving Sounds is a 4-day festival of music, visual media and aesthetic dialogue. The festival creates a forum for dialogue about sound. What is the relationship between sound and music? Can new theories of sound transform traditional ideas of “popular” and “classical” music? Through concerts, symposia, and social environments, the festival explores sound and its musical and sociological implications.

Moving Sounds 2010 investigates the phenomena of sound by pairing leading contemporary classical music performers with electronic performers. Moving Sounds 2010 features world premiere performances of works by landmark contemporary composers, Austria’s Georg Friedrich Haas and Bernhard Lang. On the side of electronic performers, Moving Sounds 2010 will feature leading Austrian electric guitarist and composer Christian Fennesz, along with Japanese acousmatic composer Steven Takasugi and Austrian alternative singer/songwriter Soap&Skin. To bridge the world between the electronic and acoustic worlds, Moving Sounds will also feature a world premiere performance of American composer Edmund Campion. This performance will be the first-ever concerto for Yamaha’s new avant-guard electronic keyboard invention, the AvantGrand.
