Creative Sound Workshop Series 1: Rotations January 28, 2010

Informational Meeting
The Creative Sound Workshops present the opportunity to approach the world of music in new ways. Sound is used as a raw source; we as music makers will mold and twist this raw source as a sculpture might shape a lump of clay.

The Rotations Series allows participants to interact with a variety of instruments, those familiar and unfamiliar, traditional and invented, all within one piece of music. In this series, we will work with a number of compositions in which the participants are asked to move from one instrument to the next; only until every instrument has been played by every participant is a composition complete. New colors of sound will hopefully emerge as each participant contributes their own unique approach to each instrument. Participants will be invited to submit their own strategies for rotation. All meetings are open to new involvement; participation in the initial informational meeting not mandatory.

A demonstration of a composition from this rotating performance system. An introduction and discussion about the aesthetics, sound possibilities, and creative participation in this collection of pieces.
