Sound Source. Plus Minus presents an international programme of works focused on the ways and means of producing sound and harnessing its resonance. Sound sources include rice grains falling onto a variety of different surfaces, two amplified performers using extended vocal techniques, a piano modified by live electronics, and almost nothing - namely the “sound” of background noise. A new work by Alex Hills especially written for the group joins music from experimental American composer Michael Pisaro, the young Dane Simon Steen-Andersen and Italians Fausto Romitelli and Agostino Di Scipio.
