Alvin Lucier Masterclass - 19 October 2014

Sonic Acts and Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam are proud to host a masterclass with the composer Alvin Lucier on Sunday the 19th of October 2014. The masterclass provides a unique opportunity to gain in-depth insight into Lucier’s working process and methods.   The masterclass takes place in the wider context of the weekend-long Alvin Lucier Festival presented by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, which includes an exhibition of a number of installations like Memory Space (1970) and Carbon Copies (1989) as well as a performance of I Am Sitting in a Room (1970). The performance will be followed by an interview with Lucier by John Snijders, founder and artistic director of the Ives Ensemble. Further the Ives Ensemble will perform a number of Lucier’s more recent compositions.   Location: Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Founders Room Date: Sunday 19 October 2014 Time: 11.00 - 14.00 Fee: € 20,- / € 15,- for students, including lunch   Join the masterclass: Send a short biography and motivation outlining why you would like to take part to masterclass[at]sonicacts[.]com. The application deadline is 10 October.   Alvin Lucier (1931) is a pioneer in the field of music composition, performance and sound installation. Much of his work is influenced by the science of acoustics and ideas surrounding the physical properties of sound itself: the resonance of spaces, phase interference between closely tuned pitches, and the transmission of sound through physical media. His activities have included the notation of performers' physical gestures, the use of brain waves in live performance, the generation of visual imagery by sound in vibrating media, and the evocation of room acoustics for musical purposes.   For more information about the Alvin Lucier Festival: www.stedelijk.nl
