Event Detail

Sean Dowgray will perform his first D.M.A. recital at UC San Diego's Department of Music.

" [...] a site for musical action that yearns to transcend the instrument's typical character and limitations. Increasingly the player tries to dileneate multiple timbres and musical layers, as if trying to teach the instruments to transform its body, to speak or even sing."
-Josh Levine, notes on Transparency (I) 

Dowgray's program will include:
Josh Levine: Transparency (I) (2004, 2010) (for bass drum, triangles, sand paper)
Richard Barrett: Abglanzbeladen/auseinandergeschrieben (1992-96, ed. 1998) (for vibraphone, crotales, steel pan, flexatone, low gong)
