The concert features music by Michael van der Aa, the winner of the 2012 Grawemeyer Award – one of the world’s most prestigious composition prizes.  In van der Aa’s Oog, for cello and tape, pre-recorded cello sounds are transfigured to create an exciting dialogue with live cello.  Nathan Davis’ Diving Bell, for solo triangle, uses this same idea of re-sculpting an instrument’s timbral possibilities, but in this case with live processing, to produce a beautiful meditation on a single sound. 

Also featured on the program is music by Mario Diaz de Leon.  Mansion, for two alto flutes, percussion and electronics, and Gated Eclipse, for amplified sextet and electronics, are both mesmerizing examples of this talented young composer’s hypnotic and ritualistic style that focuses on acoustic/electronic hybrids.  Finally, Daniel Wohl’s AORTA, for solo piano and tape, explores an electronic sound world produced exclusively through distorted piano sounds.

Over the past 40 years, the Woodruff Arts Center has distinguished itself as one of the premier cultural centers in the nation.  The Woodruff Arts Center campus houses four renowned arts organizations including Alliance Theatre, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, High Museum of Art and Young Audiences.  In addition to its role as a cultural beacon and hub of the Southeast, the Woodruff serves as a critical economic, educational and social catalyst for Atlanta and the region.  For more, visit woodruffcenter.org.

Metropolis, a milestone of German expressionism and an inspiration for science fiction films such as Blade Runner and The Matrix, portrays a dystopian world in which the poor tend to futuristic machines and inevitably clash with the wealthy elite. Recently found footage in Argentina has restored Metropolis to its original length. Sonic Generator's performance — featuring sixteen instrumentalists and electronic sounds — will present the American premiere of Martin Matalon's score for this newly restored edition. Performed on the piazza at the Woodruff Arts Center, with the film screened dramatically onto the High Museum of Art, Metropolis will showcase an iconic film and cutting-edge music in a unique space.
