Gia Cacalano presents
THE SPACE UPSTAIRS
This Friday and Saturday, Gia Cacalano will premiere new pieces that combine choreography and improvisation in dance with music by vibraphonist Jeff Berman and (ahem) myself, David Bernabo. The four dancers will do a few group pieces, some solos, and a very great duo. We’ll be performing five pieces each night, and (if I can say so) it is turning out very nicely. There is a nice article in this week’s Pittsburgh City Paper that discusses the motivations for the dance, so I’ll mention a few things about the music. The first piece, which lasts roughly 30 minutes, combines electronic soundscapes, text, and freely improvised sections for vibraphone and amplified objects. The electronic score was assembled from closed-circuit electronics that I recorded in 2004. The text piece is a newer piece where each word is slowed down by 1% until the ending text is deep bass rumbling. And of course, there is much more…
Hope to see you there. Details below:
