Silvia Matheus will be performing with Kyma in Oakland California on 20 October 2024. A computer and electronic music composer, sound artist, and improviser, Silvia is teaming up with Ric Louchard, a pianist, composer, and improviser, to create The VisitoR: a performance where electronics and acoustics meet and interact.
The VisitoR goes beyond a simple two-person conversation, embracing a lively interplay of free-flowing actions. Matheus has designed hybrid environments with multiple speakers, allowing the musicians to move in and out at their own pace and engage as they wish. This setup encourages spontaneous interactions that evolve based on each participant’s desire to immerse themselves. Her soundscape blends the algorithmically generated sounds from Kyma with fixed composed material and layers in live-processed acoustic elements to create a rich and dynamic auditory experience.
The concert is part of the WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES, a weekly new music and experimental sound series in the Dresher Ensemble Studio:
