Distat en SoundCloud 🎧

Ya se encuentra disponible una nueva entrega del archivo Distat que documenta el registro de un concierto solista a cargo de la violinista estadounidense Marina Kifferstein. El programa se articula en torno a Vocalise de Taylor Brook, obra que traduce principios estructurales de la música indostaní hacia el lenguaje contemporáneo mediante un descenso melódico que invierte la arquitectura tradicional de ese género. La entrega se completa con un set de improvisación de Kifferstein, cuya narrativa sonora se despliega sobre la métrica y las imágenes del poema de Kevin Nance, estableciendo un diálogo entre la composición predeterminada y la creación instantánea bajo pautas literarias.

Novena entrega: Marina Kifferstein
Intérpretes: @sourkiff y @noisycellist
Compositorxs: Taylor Brook * Marina Kifferstein

A new release of the Distat archive is now live, featuring a solo violin concert by American performer Marina Kifferstein. The program is centered on Taylor Brook’s Vocalise, a work that translates structural principles of Hindustani music into a contemporary language through a melodic descent that inverts the traditional architecture of that genre. The release also features an improvisation set by Kifferstein, whose sonic narrative unfolds based on the meter and imagery of Kevin Nance's poetry, establishing a dialogue between predetermined composition and instant creation guided by literary frameworks.

Ninth release: Marina Kifferstein
Performers: @sourkiff and @noisycellist
Composers: Taylor Brook * Marina Kifferstein

We look forward to share "In the presence of absence" an evening length concert of new music on March 22nd, at 7:30pm at Dimmena Center.

This concert consists of three newly composed solo works:

"How quiet—at the bottom of the lake, peaks of clouds" for solo violin, performed by Marina Kifferstein

"Zinnia" for solo percussion, performed by Ellery Trafford

"Stillness—seeping" for solo electric guitar, performed by Alec Galdfarb

These three works are interconnected by three fixed-media electronic pieces that weave together the haunting recitations of poems by the renowned Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. His words, resonating with themes of loss, longing, and hope, form the emotional backbone of the evening, grounding each piece in a shared reflection on grief and mourning.

The concert will run for approximately 75 minutes, uninterrupted, creating a seamless flow between these pieces. The event aims to create a space for collective mourning in the face of our shared loss.

Event Details:

Date: March 22

Time: 7:30 PM

Location: DiMenna Center, Cary Hall

A week later, still recovering/basking in the glow from @lucernefestival Forward Festival. Over these last few years, this has become one of my absolute season highlights.
1. A very emotional performance of Michael Hersch’s violin duo “a testing loose from matter” with the ever inspiring @patkopviolin 💫
2. Cheesing after the show
3-5. Michael Hersch’s gorgeous, soul shattering violin concerto w Patricia Kopatchinskaya + brilliant maestro @marianochiacchiarini
6. The stage is set for the “Dona nobis pacem” program
7. Friends exploring “Aluminum Forest” installation by evil geniuses @katiecomposes and @_ted_moore_
8-11. Scenes from a magical hike above the clouds
12. This hotdog was like 15” long fr
13. Misty night on the water

Photos 1, + 3-6 are extra nice because they’re by @marcoborggreve1965
