These ensemble dynamics are then processed by the live electronics, forming a third player in the drama and generating a constantly shifting composite. Local Equilibrium Dynamics, by Adam Vidiksis, involves different kinds of interactions between the live instrumentalists, sometimes disrupting each other’s sound, sometimes dispersing it, and other times collaborating with each other. Grennan’s research involves rates of photosynthesis in the Arabidopsis thaliana leaf, and Whiting incorporates data results into various parameters in DISSCO and KYMA, mapping on the experimental results to a set of sounds to reflect the diversity of leaves involved in the research. Whiting’s Illumina! Arabidopsis thaliana represents an ongoing collaboration between genomic biologist Aleel K. Becky Brown’s Hold Still is a multi-disciplinary work combining poetry, drawings, video, and electronics processing. Kirchoff strives to achieve a similar sleight of hand in music, combining three distinct thematic ideas in such a way that they are taken out of context and challenge a passive listening experience. Loving’s paintings use tricks of the eye to embed visual contradictions within seemingly simple elements. Pianist and composer Keith Kirchoff’s Irrational Rationalities is inspired by the work of cubist painter Alvin Loving. Brain Candy is the fruit of those efforts. Using motion-sensitive resistors and sensor gloves in collaboration with the open source platform Arduino, Fieldsteel fashons a musical vocabulary that corresponds to his arsenal of physical gestures. Eli Fieldsteel’s work includes extensive investigation into music generated by microcontrollers. Elena Filatova, who wrote the text, and Valerie Sobol, who performs the text, both have personal connections to Chernobyl and their inclusion intensifies the cathartic nature of the work. Scott Wyatt’s …and nature is alone memorializes the Chernobyl nuclear power station disaster in 1986. SEAMUS Records continues its series celebrating the best in contemporary electronic and electro-acoustic music with Volume 26, a compilation assembled in 2017 of recent works by its composer members.
