Announcemnt text from the STEIM emailing list:
One of the themes that I would like to explore as STEIM’s Artistic Co-Director is “Musicianship in Live Electronic Music.” Although this is something that STEIM has dealt with for many years, there still seems to be a general lack of discourse that encompasses the sonic aesthetics that both acoustic and electronic musicians are starting to share in a post-digital era. Live computer music has helped us realize that it is the sonic relationship which the musician attains with his/her instrument, sound material or audience that is more important to the performative representation of music than any kind of visual substitution or subtraction. I believe this relationship is something that all musicians intuitively develop and is revealed most clearly in solo performances. I am happy to present the first STEIM concert of 2007 with three extraordinary performers who each work in very different fields of music.
