Tristan Perish: Drift Multiply
Tristan Perich: Drift Multiply, FOR 50 VIOLINS AND 50 SPEAKERS, World Premiere
Lesley Flanigan, MUSIC FOR VOICE AND SUB TONES
On May 9th, Red Bull Music Festival presents the world premiere of Tristan Perich's Drift Multiply, a composition for 50 violins and 50 loudspeakers, performed within the historic Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. Experimental composer/vocalist Lesley Flanigan will also perform, presenting a new work for sub tones and voice. Tickets are on sale now.
For Perich, who is known for his work combining the sounds of custom-built 1-bit electronics with acoustic classical instrumentation, Drift Multiply is his largest and most ambitious work yet. Scored as 100 individual lines of music that blend violins and speakers into a cascading tapestry of tone, harmony and noise, Drift Multiply is a vivid synthesis of person and machine. Commissioned by Issue Project Room and almost ten years in the making, Drift Multiply is the culmination of his work exploring the relationship between acoustic and electronic sound, human and machine, tone and noise, and will be presented under the musical direction of Doug Perkins.
