ElectroResonance - immersive electroacoustic music
Thomas Ciufo, Curtis Bahn and Jane Rigler
Neuma Records

Resonance... How do we find or create opportunities for connection, collaboration and shared human and sonic space? How do we listen deeply to one another and respond in ways that create empathetic resonance? This album, recorded live at Mount Holyoke College, features interactive electronic music by Jane Rigler, Curtis Bahn, and Thomas Ciufo; composer-improvisers who perform on a range of unique computer-extended instruments. 

This ongoing performance project has developed around an exploration of how we connect and interact through sound, mediated by ancient, current and emerging technologies; how we can “perform” the expressive and sonic capabilities inherent in a collection of personal, custom-built, hybrid acoustic / electronic instruments. The constructed and composed instruments extend the capabilities of traditional acoustic instruments, allowing players to freely combine synthetic sound sources, natural field recordings, real-time computer processing, and gesturally-controlled sonic transformations. Improvisation is central to this endeavor, and performances unfold as a creative exploration – a give and take that brings the listeners along on the adventure.
