Manhattan New Music Project partners with X-Initiative to present two extraordinary artists who use technology in innovative ways for a multisensory performance. This event will take place on Thursday, October 8th on the rooftop of the X-Initiative. This performance is part of MNMPsInteractive Music Series, which showcases emerging artists who incorporate new technologies and new media in their work.
Zemi17 is composer, musician and media artist Aaron Taylor Kuffner. He is, along with LEMUR, the co-designer of the GamelaTron, the first and only fully robotic Gamelan orchestra. Gamelan, the ancient tradition of Indonesian gong-chime percussion, features metallophones, xylophones, drums and gongs that, woven together, produce a hauntingly beautiful soundscape.
Kuffner uses a laptop to control the GamelaTrons 117 robotic striking mechanisms. His performances are both visually and sonically astounding.
