NoiseFold in performance with Frances-Marie Uitti

Two Evenings: Sept. 26 + 27 at 8:00 PM in the Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theater
Sponsored by the UNT College of Music, CEMI and iARTA
NoiseFold presents selected movements from “Untitled Suite” (2011) and NoiseFold 2.0(2010).
The performance brings together the hybrid cinema and sound art of NoiseFold with renowncellist, composer and musical innovator Frances-Marie Uitti. Working at the confluence ofalgorithmic processes and instrumental improvisation, NoiseFold crafts live cinema as acontemporary musical form. The project is facilitated by a complex audio-visual software systemdesigned by the artists that generates or breeds a seemingly infinite array of virtual agents.The resulting sound is not a separate aural accompaniment but rather the direct sonificationof the visual mathematic data itself. Thus the performers interact with semi-autonomous visualforms to grow, and sculpt the sonic content of the performance. Recently Metcalf and Stouthave expanded their work to include adventurous interactions with accomplished acousticinstrumentalists. Frances-Marie Uitti, a riveting performer known for her groundbreakingdevelopment of multi-bowed playing technique, interacts within this audio-visual environment tocoax a rich universe of poetic behavior into being.
