Listen to electroacoustic music from Berlin, Iceland, the U.K., and right here in New York on this New Sounds show. Hear the latest record by Canadian-born, New York City-based cellist & composer Julia Kent who uses looped cello, electronics and found sounds, to suggest the build of pressure and the threat of violent release. She describes it as “layers of sound peeling back to reveal a beating, bloody human heart at its centre.” Then, there’s a new work by London-based composer Jon Opstad, who has scored film, dance, and television. Opstad’s “Cold Fire,” is a new piece for viola, double bass, piano and electronics and was created for contemporary dance collaboration with choreographer Hubert Essakow.
There’s also music by Berlin-based Icelandic-born cellist & composer Hildur Gudnadóttir, who creates an electronic symphony of cellos--all of them layered over each other. Plus, from Iceland, there's a score from composer, producer Olafur Arnalds, "Another Happy Day," with electro-acoustic soundscapes formed around piano and strings.
