A tapestry of exquisite contemporary chamber music, sensor driven lighting and projected generative animation, Conditions of Growth is a new collaborative performance project presented by Ad Lib Collective. Working with the music of Ravel and Rossen the work holds the seeds of connection to the things that need nurturing. Small tendrils of sound, granular close-ups, and full body sound experiences offer us a space to consider what the conditions are that we need to quietly grow.
Repertoire:
- Miroirs Suite – Maurice Ravel, arr. John Rotar for Piano and Percussion
- Ochre for massed flowerpots, bells and sensor driven LED lights – Thea Rossen (world premiere)
Conditions of Growth is created by percussionist/composer Thea Rossen and media artist Sohan Ariel Hayes in collaboration with:
- Piano: Alex Raineri
- Electronics and coding design: Nick Stark
- Producer: Holly Norman
- Lighting Design: Alex Spartalis GSD
- Videography: Andrew Clarke – Edify Media
