[Capdist-announce] World Premiere! EMPAC presents ONTOPOIESIS by Rama Gottfried & Yarn/Wire

[TeBordo, Kathryn]

All are invited! The experimental music theater work ONTOPOIESIS asks, What connects us to our world and shapes our experience of it? How do we in turn shape the world?

EMPAC at RPI in Troy invites Capital District Theater audiences to experience the world premiere of ONTOPOIESIS by Rama Gottfried & Yarn/Wire on Friday, May 2 at 7PM. Presented in the EMPAC Theater on the campus of RPI.

Through a sonically and visually rich staged production of musical characters and landscapes, ONTOPOIESIS expresses life as a self-organizing, self-creating phenomenon.

Composer Rama Gottfried, with production designer Anna Paniccia and experimental music piano and percussion quartet Yarn/Wire, explores new forms of music, experimental theater, and sculpture in this commissioned new artwork that ties us deeply to our surroundings.

Join us to experience the world of multifarious sounds in ONTOPOIESIS: bowed piano strings form clouds of fuzzy distortion; hyper-detailed, granularly-synthesized caterpillar feet; digital lightning storms and open-air ambisonic field recordings.

Connect with your senses as micro and macro sounds combine to form a vibrant, emergent theatrical ecosystem of sound.
