D I F F U S I O N • F E S T I V A L • 9 • NIGHT FIVE The Voxel Theater • Electro Acoustic Music of Britain
∆Ω∆Ω∆Ω∆Ω∆Ω∆Ω∆Ω∆
It’s High Zero’s DIFFUSION FESTIVAL, the festival of music made out of sounds.
Just to remind you, DIFFUSION is our festival concerned with multi-channel electro-acoustic music, both brand new and historical.
Some of these sound pieces are made with just microphones, some of them are made with only electronic instruments, much of it is made with a combination of both. Some of them are played on 4 speakers, some on 6 speakers and some on 8 speakers and some on more!
Listening, in this medium is different from “normal” music, I like to think of it as the difference, on a hot day, between standing in front of an air conditioner, and swimming in a cool lake. Seats are taken, the lights are dimmed, and the sound commences, there is nothing to see, everything is seen with the ears.

On the 15th A.M. will diffuse her selection of works representing a historical overview of multichannel electro acoustic music from the United Kingdom.
A.M. is a director of Birmingham ElectroAcoustic Sound Theatre, or as it is more commonly known, BEAST, is a sound diffusion system specifically designed for the performance of electroacoustic music. It consists of a set of loudspeakers connected to a computer, usually controlled by a diffusion console. It is a long-running project of the Electroacoustic Music Studios at the University of Birmingham, founded in 1982 under the directorship of Jonty Harrison.
If you want to know more about this admirable institution you can read the wiki HERE, or their own website here.

On this night A.M. will present a historical retrospective of the multichannel electro acoustic work from Britain on our specially installed 19.4 speaker system at The Voxel. Nothing like this has been presented before in Baltimore.
The Voxel is a beautifully refitted film theater on 25th Street. There will only be one show at the Voxel per night and you can pre-purchase tickets if you like at voxel.org
