In just under a week (Sunday the 29th at 4pm, to be exact), Sympho will be collaborating with the extraordinary MAYA Trio (Sato Moughalian, Bridget Kibbey, and John Hadfield) to create a somewhat composed, somewhat improvised soundtrack to a screening of panels from the 1940's cult comic book "Green Lama". Yes, that's with only one "l". A superhero who spends time in Tibet, amassing mysterious powers during his sojourn...not your typical comic book, but certainly a fun one.
I'll be working with MAYA during rehearsals starting this Wednesday, putting it all together, and then we'll join with a wonderful group of actors (Linus Roache, Brian Cox, Darrell Larson, and WQXR's Elliott Forrest) on Saturday to put it all together. This is a first for me, because I'll be performing on laptop instead of conducting. It'll be a wonderful chance to hear some live chamber music in a crazy mash-up of artistic genres (visual art, music, and theater, to be precise). The "soundtrack" portion will be about 15 minutes, followed by an artist discussion. The remainder of the concert will be a mixture of chamber music and electronica, primarily composed of source material for the soundtrack in extended form.
Should be a good one, and I'll hope to see you there! Details here.
