7:30 p.m. in Epperson Auditorium: Shift is a collaboration between Dan Thomas of the Conservatory of Music and Dance at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and Brett Reif, assistant professor in the School of the Foundation Year at KCAI. The performance will involve appropriated video, improvised sound and the voice. "As we experience our world, our perceptions shift to gather and process information," Thomas and Reif wrote. "This event will highlight the relationship between this perception shift. Music, often improvised, will react to the voice and language, which will react to moving images. The audience will be placed in the midst of this interplay."
ArtSounds is a series where composers, performers and visual artists join together to present a series of performances. Initiated by faculty from the UMKC Conservatory of Music and Dance and KCAI, ArtSounds explores cross-media expression through creative concert-making. Faculty partners from each institution produce provocative events that explore a maximum breadth of means, methods, media and music: art sounds and music sees.
