thomas ciufo : veiled borders



Veiled Borders - an internationally dispersed improvising electro-acoustic quartet
Jane Rigler - Colorado
Karen Power and John Godfrey - Mallow, Ireland
Thomas Ciufo - Massachusetts

This quartet interacts with the gestural and physical connections between the acoustic, natural environment and the electronic world. Through a variety of sound-collections, real-time performance and playful engagement, this quartet is interested in the edges of music and sound: where does the acoustic experience and space end and the electronics sensation begin? How does our mutual sound, and perhaps the diffusion of it, generate a multi-sensorial experience of sound? In what ways does sound touch us? All members are composers, performers and improvisers using various kinds of software programs and interfaces such as flutes, bells, original recordings, hybrid sounds and other sources that unite listening with our physical experience of the performing and giving of sound.
