FLOW: New Music for Flutes and Electronics
There is no charge for admission.
The concert includes pieces by Bethany Younge, DM R, and Jessie Cox from field anatomies (Carrier Records), which was noted as one of Stereogum’s top-ten experimental releases of the year and praised for its “superhuman physicality” and “disciplined patience” (Bandcamp Best Contemporary Release and Experimental Release), alongside music by Laura themself, George Lewis, and Joel Rust
Laura Cocks is a flutist with “febrile instrumental prowess” (The New York Times), who works in a wide array of environments as a performer of experimental music and “creates intricate, spellbinding works that have a visceral physicality to them” (Foxy Digitalis). Laura is the executive director and flutist of TAK ensemble, “one of the most prominent ensembles in the United States practicing truly experimental music” (I Care If You Listen) with whom Laura makes musics "that combine crystalline clarity with the disorienting turbulence of a sonic vortex.” (WIRE Magazine).
Joel Rust's new work, I do not flow, is written for bass flute and live electronic sounds and is, in part, about his own speech disfluency; it does not literally "stutter" but, instead, moves the flute out of time with itself and reflects on the fragile and precious nature of communication. The development of the piece was supported by a grant from Emory Arts.
*There is a small parking lot on Burlington Road which is free and open to the public after 6pm; free parking is also available at Emory's Gambrell lot, a 5 minute walk from the Performing Arts Studio.
