>Composer and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp, a central figure of the
>downtown New York new music scene since the early 1980's, premieres his
>latest piece, Radiolaria, with his ensemble Orchestra Carbon.
>
>The score combines musical notation with written instructions that guide
>the performers' interactions in order to generate both musical structures
>and unpredictable acoustic phenomena. These effects are enhanced by the
>live computer processing of the ensemble's aggregate sound, extracting
>overtones and subharmonics, then feeding them back into the mix. The total
>effect is richly dense and sonic, exhilarating and psychedelic, filled with
>shimmering overtones and pulsing beats.
>
>Orchestra Carbon, for Radiolaria, features:
>
>Curtis Fowlkes - trombone
>Sam Furnace - alto saxophone
>Julie Kalu - bass trombone
