Lea Bertucci & Norbert Rodenkirchen + Slow Attack Ensemble

Composer Lea Bertucci brings her newest piece for archaic flutes in 8 channels featuring master flautist Norbert Rodenkirchen to the ethereal environment at Church of the Holy Trinity. Minimalist ambient act Slow Attack Ensemble opens the night. Norbert Rodenkirchen (of early music ensemble Sequentia) plays a collection of flutes dating from the Renaissance to Medieval to Neolithic in Bertucci’s piece “The Days Pass Quickly Immersed in the Shadow of Eternity”, filtered through an 8 channel array via Lea’s live electronic sequencing. Lush flutters and chattering notes mingle with drone-like breaths and haunting tones that whistle underneath it all. Electronic experimenter Chuck Blazevic's Slow Attack Ensemble creates subtle ambient soundscapes that evolve with the soft creeping drift of errant fog as digital delay pulls playful tones out of sampled guitar notes. Hypnotic sounds stretch and warble as if on some cosmic conveyor belt. Curated by Tad Michalak.
