CCAI's talk series, Nevada Neighbors, returns for its sixth season this Wednesday, September 17 at 6:30 pm* with:
Nevada Neighbors – "Sounds Good: Experimental Contemporary Music"
presentation by Composer Jean-Paul Perrotte
Mr. Perrotte's talk will provide a fascinating introduction to contemporary experimental music. As a composer, Mr. Perrotte is interested in the real sounds in our everyday life, as well as the music and sounds created by composers and musicians. He comments: "The sounds of our environment define our location. The rhythm, pitch and timber of the sonic events we experience in our daily activity become familiar to us. That familiarity helps us navigate our immediate surroundings. By juxtaposing disparate field recordings with synthesized sound, new environments can be created, with new navigational possibilities."
Informal reception at 6:00 p.m.
The lecture and reception are free and the public is cordially invited
