New Electronic Music – Robert Seaback

This concert features electroacoustic music composed for Robert Seaback’s PhD Project in Artistic Research, “The Semiotics of Presence.”

Steph Denardo

Programme

An underlying aesthetic concern for this research is how the embodied aspects of sound making and listening function as sites of meaning distinct from symbolic or language-based modes of meaning formation.

The compositions on this program integrate voices, instruments, soundscapes, and synthetic sound sources through digital techniques, traversing corporeal energy, cross-sensory expressivity, and digital stasis. They will be presented via an immersive 2-D loudspeaker configuration in high order ambisonic format.
