brainwaves
Composer : Mira Calix
Dates: 18/9/2010
This pioneering Faster Than Sound residency brings together science, visual art and music to explore the connections inspired by the brain and sound. These links will be realised in a new sculptural work by design studio Loop.ph and two new works by Mira Calix and Anna Meredith which all take MRI brain scanners as their inspiration. The artists will work in close collaboration with esteemed neuroscientist Professor Vincent Walsh throughout the residency and he will also provide insights to the audience through pre-concert talks. Brainwaves offers a tantalising insight into the connections between the worlds of creativity and science.
Mira Calix’s starting point is the daunting personal experience of a brain scan, which she seeks to humanise in a new work that incorporates string quartet to uplift the electronic sounds of the scanner. Calix will work in collaboration with Anna Meredith in creating the piece. Anna will work more with the electronic sounds created from the machine to compose a new work of her also. Both composers will be mentored by Vincent Walsh throughout the process.
Loop.pH’s Matthias Gmachl is more interested in the pure electronic sound created by the MRI brain scanning machine, the noises within the brain itself and how they connect with the visual. He will use this to create an interactive sculpture as a visual response to the sound. As an additional resource in the creation of these works, Faster Than Sound will initiate brain scans of various classical players running through musical scores in their mind, to take place at UCL this September The artists will then use the copies of the scans as a visual inspiration, alongside the sounds that the scans make.
Brainwaves will also feature a series of informal round table discussions between musicians and scientists to explore the scientific and musical worlds of harmony, group, composition and frequencies.

Words and Music: Resonance
Composer : Mira Calix
Dates: 18/6/2010
Words and Music: Resonance Three newly commissioned works in progress Fri 18th June 7.45pm £5 Howard Assembly Room
Resonance is Opera North's rolling programme of artistic development and new commissions in music, image and performance. Resonance provides a forum for the most exciting contemporary artists to bring new work to life through workshops, artistic residencies at Opera North and work in progress performance. It allows Opera North to push at the boundaries of its practice and enables partner artists and companies as varied as composer Gabriel Prokofiev, theatre director Neil Bartlett and theatre companies Faulty Optic and Forced Entertainment, to bring new elements into their work.
For 2010 Opera North has commissioned three new short works exploring different ways that the relationship between a composer and a writer can work, and the ways in which music interacts with literary writing.
3 Composers Opera North Projects has commissioned 3 short new pieces from three very different composers, each of whom approaches the intersection between electronic and classical music from a different direction. The three have impressive CVs, having had their work performed at the most prestigious locations including the Wigmore Hall, The Royal Festival Hall, Aldeburgh and the Manchester International Festival. Between them they have worked with musicians and partners as diverse as the London Sinfonietta, London Symphony Orchestra, God Speed you Black Emperor and The Royal Shakespeare Company. They are part of a generation redefining the landscape of contemporary classical music.
3 Writers The three composers have each chosen a living writer to work with, either based on longstanding artistic partnerships or newly developed collaborations for this project. Mira Calix works with TS Eliot award winning poet Alice Oswald on her poem 'Narcissist' and a second poem specially commissioned for the project. Emily Hall works with award winning author of deadkidsongs and Ghost Story Toby Litt to explore motherhood within the structure of the song cycle. Larry Goves works with long term collaborator, poet Matthew Welton to set his sequence of poems, following on from their successful collaboration with the London Sinfonietta.
3 Singers Mara Carlyle Charmian Bedford Seaming To.
