Justin Snyder – “Synthesis: Music for Piano and Electronics”

SYNTHESIS is a performance exploring music for piano and electronics. Justin Snyder will perform works by Pierre Charvet, Stephen Montague, Missy Mazzoli, Charles Dodge, and Read Miller. The first half of the program focuses on themes of blurred perceptions of time and space, the auditory and visual symmetry in our physical and perceived worlds, and closes out with a musical interpretation of a hallucinatory haiku. The latter half of the program reflects on our often surreal and humorous relationship between technology and humanity, the intangibility of our existence, and ends with an intimate contemplation on time and memory.

PROGRAM:

Pierre Charvet- Neuf études aux deux mondes

Stephen Montague- Haiku

Charles Dodge- Any Resemblance Is Purely Coincidental

Missy Mazzoli- Isabelle Eberhardt Dreams of Pianos

Read Miller- Come out, sit awhile; break the bottle, and you is lost
