About
Saturday, January 20, 2018 8:00pm Doors / 8:30pm Performance $15 Guests / Free for members Reserve seats: member login or guest registration This program collects three long-form works by composer Tashi Wada that explore diverging aspects of tuning and tonality. Valence (2016), written for cellist Charles Curtis , isolates and reharmonizes the natural overtones of a single string, destabilizing and fusing tone and timbre through a delicate alchemy. Witness (2017), written for bassoonist Dafne Vicente-Sandoval , draws out the relationship between an array of scales and tetrachords (four-note segments of scales) found traditionally in Greek, Persian, and Arabic musics, in combination with hybrid and invented scales, through repetition, variation, and improvisation. Mutable Signs , Wada’s performance for keyboard, voice, and sirens with guest musician Julia Holter , focuses on the outer edges of historical, non-equal temperaments, eliciting a more distant, uneven sense of tonality.
