<u>Friday, April 5 at 8PM</u>. Presented in EMPAC Studio 1�Goodman Theater on the campus of RPI, in Troy, NY.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">The newest production from composer-performers Antonia Barnett-McIntosh and Jessie Marino collects technologies from bygone eras�pulley systems, pianolas, needlepoint, sodium vapor lamps�and places them in conversation
with bespoke handmade and electronic objects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">"If music can be thought of as <u>
meaningful time</u>, then Antonia and Jessie's literal musical playground also creates a
<u>meaningful space</u>. SUSCEPTIBLE CHAMBERS is an invitation to discover novel ways to look at, listen to, and experience music through their wildly fanciful, droll, and exacting vision."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">�Music curator Amadeus Julian Regucera, from �The Discipline of Play�<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#212121">�Composers Jessie Marino and Antonia Barnett McIntosh have explored how everyday sonic experiences are transformed through media and performance. Marino�s seriously playful theatrics reframe familiar sounds (like
radio static) through repetition and video. McIntosh thoughtfully amplifies the musicality of language, listening, and conversation.�<o:p></o:p></span></p>
