David Hykes (www.harmonicworld.com)Harmonic Universe
Composer and educator David Hykes David and his ensemble The Harmonic Choir are celebrating their 30th year of creating enlightenment-dedicated music. Hykes has mastered overtone singing known as Harmonic Chant, the skill developed by Tibetan monk and Mongolian nomads that allows them to sing low and high notes simultaneously. Hykes and his Harmonic Choir explore the normally untapped resonances of the human voice. He’ll join us to talk about the month-long festival devoted to his work at the Rubin Museum. Digital errors -pops, distortion, and system crashes- tend not to be the stuff of music, but rather annoyance. Not so for Glitch musicians, who craft intricate soundscapes out of these "mistakes." Joining us will be two composers who, among other things, seek out these sounds for their works: Laptop performer Carl Stone who has curated performances by top Japanese artist for the Japan Society this weekend, and Taylor Deupree who runs the microsound label 12k out of Brooklyn.
