Feeding off of the audience seated on stage, the performance will feature the duo producing experimental music with the help of a microphone. Composed and developed in 2013, the work is meant to uncover the often ignored characteristics of the microphone and to elevate its role in the process of music making. The performance will use amplified sound that is playing back through eight indepdendent speakers placed arond the audience.
As a double-bill event, Transducer is coupled with a rare performance of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s 1964 Mikrophonie I. Additionally, there will be a Transducer Workshop for interested music makers. The lecture and demonstration will take participants through the new instruments designed for the performance.
