Events Description
New Ways for Old Works is a concert that focuses on realizing older works written by Canadian women for performers with live electronics. In the growing history of classical music performance with electronics, older works have become increasingly difficult to perform as electronic media and machinery used in the works become increasingly difficult to preserve or reproduce. The pieces chosen for this concert are all works that have rarely been performed due to lack of technical documentation, poor preservation of media or obsolete technology.
This concert, produced by the Technology and Performance Integration Research Lab, is just one of the many efforts the lab is taking to explore methods for documenting, preserving, and realizing existing works for live electronics. By creating new technical documentation describing performance setup instructions, and, when necessary, recreating obsolescent technology in current software, this project aims to develop a catalogue of documentation for pre-existing works that are rarely performed in order to encourage future performances.
