BREATHING AND ITS TRANSFORMATIONS is a series of performances sponsored by the music department at Wesleyan University, St. Cloud University and University of California Santa Barbara. In connection with an interview by Alexandra Alisauskas and Godfre Leung in the Third Rail Quarterly, the program, with an introduction by Godfre Leung, presented new realisations of pieces created some years ago by Yasunao Tone, Alvin Lucier, Ron Kuivila and Clarence Barlow, with a newly created digital version of “Lyrictron” programmed by Wolfgang Gil.
Links to a recorded version of the Tone and Lucier pieces from Upper Air Observation, a CD published by Lovely Music, Ltd. can be found on my Listen Blog, and a concert fragment of Ron Kuivila’s “Electric Wind” on the Third Rail website.
