Water Dust
Water Dust w/ guest artist Patrick Chin Ting Chan
We are delighted to announce an upcoming concert featuring the work of Patrick Chin Ting Chan, fellow students from the Experimental Music & Digital Media (EMDM) program, along with dancers. The event is free and open to the public and will take place on March 8, 2024, at 7:30 pm in the Digital Media Center at Louisiana State University.
Water Dust is a concert-length piece composed by Patrick Chin Ting Chan, exploring the symbolic and aesthetic aspects of water and dust. Inspired by the contrast and connection between these elements, the piece embodies dualities such as purity and impurity, change and stagnation, emotion and reason. It pushes the boundaries between art and science, nature and culture, order and chaos, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in a fluid and organic world of sound and vision.
The work comprises 17 short videos. The graphics and sounds evoke imagery of water droplets, dust particles, and other microscopic phenomena, featuring abstract and distorted geometric patterns or waves in motion, employing two primary color groups: blue and brown. Accompanying the videos, a group of performers will improvise during or between the segments, responding to and reflecting on the audiovisuals to interpret the duality of these contrasts. The performers are encouraged to integrate into the collective sound of the audio materials.
