2019 High Voltage Concert
The EMDM High Voltage Concert is the venue where the experimental reigns and anything can become music. The 2019 incarnation is coalescing around a theme of transmission & communication with pieces for cyber-hacked discman, a networked computer game of telephone, listening and learning machines, live electronics performance and more.
Works by Jesse Allison, Edgar Berdahl, Landon Viator, Chase Mitchusson, William Thompson, Anthony Marasco, and Margaret Schedel.

WHAT: HIGH VOLTAGE CONCERT
WHEN: March 8, 7:30 PM
WHERE: LSU Digital Media Center Theatre
FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
The Experimental Music & Digital Media High Voltage Concert this coming Friday is going to be Fantastic – in the broadest sense of the word. The concert is a musical exhibition of the strange.
There will be a virtual skeleton marimba performer, cyber-hacked music performed robotically on 2 Sony discman, an informance telling the audience about electronic music performance which will become the performance, a telephone game based laptop orchestra performance, and a sonic artwork of remembrance performed on ammunition boxes.
On top of all this, there is even a composition to listen to that can not be heard – through your ears!
If this is intriguing to you, or someone you know, come to our concert of High Voltage the Digital Media Center Theatre, Friday at 7:30 PM
EXTRA, EXTRA!!!
If you would like to see and hear more about how the 92 speaker digital media center theatre works, we have an EMDM seminar at 3PM March 8th where we will show the gory insides of a supercomputing system for immersive audio. It is free and open
to all.
to all.
(Composers, take note. If you would like to write something specifically for this space, now is your chance to get involved.)
