Friday April 29 2016
Carl will present his latest work Chinjuuya (珍獣屋) composed especially for the BEAST system, as part of the annual BEAST FEaST Festival of Music and Ideas, which will take place in Birmingham UK April 28-30, 2016. The BEAST diffusion system uses multiple channels of separately amplified loudspeakers, whose differing characteristics make them appropriate for a particular position or function. The system includes arrays of tweeters (high frequency speakers which can be suspended over the audience), sub-woofers (low frequency speakers) and full-range speakers of varying characteristics and from different manufacturers. The performer is able, via a custom-built diffusion desk or a computer interface, to create a variety of sound images, and to ‘sculpt’ the spatial, dynamic and dramatic implications of the music in a particular performance environment in order to interpret and realize the composer’s intentions. The festival itself draws audiences from around the UK and farther afield, and will include works by over 30 artists from dozens of countries, in seven concerts and three sessions of talks across three days of activities.
