Jabberwocky - Infrasound, NYC

InfraSound presents Mirror | rorriM as an investigation of childhood fairytales and fantasy. This concert features the world premiere of Austin Philemon’s immersive electronic monodrama “Curiouser and Curiouser” based on Lewis Carroll’s well-known fairytale “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Familiar and foreign characters show themselves and attempt to guide Alice as she explores and discovers an electronic wonderland built by Philemon. Using motion tracking technology, the soundscape changes based on the actions and decisions of Alice, and that of Alice’s object of curiosity: The White Rabbit. This performance will also feature compositions by composers similarly fascinated by fairytales, including Unsuk Chin’s Advice from a Caterpillar, Susan Botti’s The Jabberwocky, Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel (Mirror in the Mirror), Yoshi Weinberg’s Some people are flowers, Xingzimin Pan’s Kaidan, and Kaija Saariaho’s From the Grammar of Dreams
