O Barulho Mesmo (The Same Noise)





Musical works from Angolan soundscapes
by Matthew Peters Warne

Friday, November 5 - 8:00 pm

O Barulho Mesmo is a concert presenting musical works created with sound recordings made in Angola. Combining techniques from soundscape music with a variety of audio spatialization techniques, the works blend the sounds of present-day Luanda and Huambo with the acoustic environment of the concert hall. In so doing, the pieces introduce listeners to the sounds of urban Angola while enriching the way we hear our own environment.

The concert features the artist performing with "gourdo" a custom digital instrument used to control live sound processing and a piece for clarinet and electronics performed by Butch Rovan.

This concert is presented as a MEME (http://brown.edu/meme) dissertation concert in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the PhD in Multimedia and Electronic Music Composition at Brown University.
