Xavier van Wersch and Derek Holzer are both experienced computer musicians that challenge the conventions of today’s electronic music. SONIC WARGAME introduces a new form of collaborative (or competitive) music playing where the skills, tactics and intentions of all the players are absorbed into a wonderfully constructed high/low-tech machine to create an evolving battlefield of sounds. TONEWHEELS is a complete departure from the laptop computer, only using light and analog circuitry to generate raw pulsing sounds that are tightly interlinked to the projected imagery. Both artists will be in residence at STEIM prior to the concert preparing for this performance.
