Description
Description
We conclude our 2016/2017 concert season with a heavy-duty double bill. In collaboration with the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, we are delivering on our promise to present British composer Cornelius Cardew’s graphical notation epic, Treatise. Treatise a graphic musical score comprising 193 pages of lines, abstract symbols, and geometric shapes. The massive score, itself a work of art, took the composer 4 years to complete. What makes this rendition extra special is the fact that HKNME will be supported by sound artist / electronic musician /programmer / noise-maker Wang Changcun. Wang is a pioneering figure in sound art in China and had appeared on numerous experimental music and sound art compilation CDs, including the iconic compilation “AN ANTHOLOGY OF NOISE: ELECTRONIC MUSIC #4” released by Sub Rosa. This performance of treatise will be accompanied by projections of the graphical notation, which the musicians will read from in real time. Do not miss this one. That is all.
