Ebb and Flow Arts present another “Music of the Spheres” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Imiloa Planetarium in Hilo.
This all new show features full dome, 3D, digital projection combined with ground-breaking electronic music. Admission is free.
Featured artists include Tomas Belsky (Hilo), Lee Michael Walczuk (Mountain View), Dom Walczuk (Mountain View), Peter Swanzy (Maui), and Michael Takemoto (Maui). Composers include Robert Wehrman (Honolulu), Jean-Claude Risset, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Otto Luening, Brian Eno, and Joji Yuasa.
Composer Robert Wehrman’s, and visual artist Michael Takemoto’s most recent collaboration is “Passacaglia for a Friend I Could Not Save.” It will be a world premiere. Wehrman and Takemoto have created several pieces for our Music of the Spheres programs over the years.
Several of the Hawaii-based artists and composers will be present.
From 6:30 to 7 p.m., Swanzy will offer a pre-concert discussion and demonstration titled “Pioneers of Electronic Music,” which is a survey of works for the electronic medium by the first creators of electronic music in the first half of the 20th century. He will also introduce more recent electronic works.
Walczuk Productions will offer a shadow puppet presentation as prelude to the full dome film presentation.
This event is part of Ebb and Flow Arts’ annual, multi-day, multi-site, international North South East West Festival 2016. Ebb and Flow is a nonprofit presenter of modern music and multi media events. It is the only such presenter in Hawai’i, and was founded in 1999, by composer/pianist Robert Pollock.
