Tonight’s events from the Pixilerations Festival include digital, electronic, musical and video peformances downtown at the URI Shepard Building Auditorium — one act features amplified gourds! But that will be just one performance of many.
Underneath the sheer wizardry of this concert series is an undercurrent of cross-cultural, old vs. new media inquiry, such as Matthew Peters-Warne who plays a gourd-based digital controller to transform Portuguese and Umbundu languages into music. Also: Todd Winkler’s immersive audio/video environment, Kristen Volness, (laptop and string quartet); Peter Bussigel (in a shivers-inducing audio journey); Alex Dupuis (guitar and electronics); bedtime stories (with video) from Lucky Leone; Alex Kruckman in an audio-visual feedback loop; and Ed Osborn creates an “audio microworld” with live electronics and table-top guitar.
Finally, gourds that you can rock out to. (The image here is from Todd Winkler’s video ‘Glint’)
Free, 8pm, Friday, Shepard building, 80 Washington Street
