Julie Herndon's intimate Electronic Etudes for acoustic piano and live electronic processing are followed by Sholeh Asgary's future mythological excavations in movement, light, voice, and sound. Saturday concludes with Valerio Tricoli's stunning composition of intricate, evolving textures.

Valerio Tricoli is a composer of electroacoustic music. His concerts focus on the impromptu creation of a narrative which takes into account the relations between reality, virtuality and memory: sounds hover between the "here and now" of the concert situation and the shady domain of memory­­—distant but at the same time present like a déjà vu.

Sholeh Asgary is an interdisciplinary sound artist who researches how the auditory characteristics of a location reveal its underlying conditions and our relationship to place—echoing the near-perpetual movement across borders that characterized Asgary’s formative years. Situating the body as a site of knowledge, the work takes form as visual, sound, and collective processes.

Julie Herndon is a composer, performer and sound artist exploring the body’s relationship to sound. Her electro-acoustic work has been described as “truly brilliant” (Kulturpunkt) and “blended to inhabit a surprisingly expressive space” (San Francisco Classical Voice).
