Artsounds: Sounds + Shadow, a collaboration of Karen McCoy + Robert Carl - March 20, 7pm

Posted March 1, 2012

Sound and Shadow is a video installation with live music. Karen McCoy has recorded the often surprising and abstract effects of shadows, animated by such phenomena as wind and the passage of the sun. Robert Carl has created an accompanying soundscape (in honor of John Cage’s centennial) that will guide the performers in their interpretation and response to the visual imagery. The audience will be encouraged to move about during the performance and will have a chance will talk with the artist, composer, and performers at the end of the evening.
