New York-based sound artists Miguel Frasconi (2006 Artist-In-Residence), and Dan Joseph will perform a one-hour set of improvised elecroacoustic soundscapes. Falling somewhere between a chamber music concert and a sound installation, Frasconi will play processed glass instruments and electronics with Joseph on hammer dulcimer and laptop. Frasconi will also premiere a short solo work, Out of Edges, which utilizes a custom surround-sound software environment he developed in collaboration with Harvestworks programmer Zachary Seldess during his 2006 Harvestworks residency. Miguel Frasconi uses glass objects, electronics, keyboards, and "de-evolved" instruments to create music that sounds as if it comes from a uniquely imagined tradition. He is a founder of the Toronto-based Glass Orchestra as well as the Bay Area sound sculpture band Mobius Operandi, and has performed extensively with the Paul Dresher Ensemble and with trumpeter Jon Hassell. His recent activities include a new score for choreographer Alonzo King, performances with electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick, a newly commissioned work for Gamelan Son of Lion, and concerts with the New York-based composers collective Ne(x)tworks. www.frasconimusic.com Dan Joseph is a free-lance composer based in New York City. As an artist who embraces the musical multiplicity of our time, Dan works simultaneously in a variety of media and contexts, including instrumental chamber music, free improvisation, and various forms of electronica and sound art. Since the late 1990s, the hammer dulcimer has been the primary vehicle for his music. As a performer he is active with his own chamber ensemble, The Dan Joseph Ensemble, as well as in various improvisational collaborations and as a soloist. www.danjoseph.org
