Alvin Lucier - Opera With Objects

Opera with Objects is one of a series of Lucier’s works which explore the resonant properties of everyday objects. One or more performers taps one object which, when coupled with another, produces vivid changes in timbre as well as loudness.

Performer: Alvin Lucier

About

American composer Alvin Lucier was an early pioneer of sound works which use systems as a generative device and has since produced innovations in many areas of musical composition and performance, including the notation of physical gestures, the use of brain waves in live performance, and the evocation of room acoustics for musical purposes.

This performance presents work that has a strong connection to the artistic strategies represented in Open Systems: Rethinking Art c.1970.
