November 17, 2016 at Towne Crier in Beacon.
Free admission
Hear original compositions for voice, mutantrumpet and electronics by Mimi Goese and Ben Neill. The music is based on real-time data taken on the Hudson River by Beacon Institute’s River and Estuary Observatory Network (REON).
BEN NEILL is a composer, performer, producer, and inventor of the mutantrumpet, a hybrid electro-acoustic instrument. He has been called “a creative composer and genius performer” (Time Out NY),”the mad scientist of dancefloor jazz” (CMJ), and “a musical powerhouse, a serious and individual talent” (Time Out London). Neill’s music blends influences from electronica, jazz and contemporary classical music, blurring the lines between DJ culture and acoustic instrument performance.
MIMI GOESE has been pursing divergent aspects of the arts since 1984. Trained as a dancer, she has worked in post modern dance, performance art, theater, film and music. Musical pursuits have included the seminal art band Hugo Largo, the band Mimi, as well as collaborations with composers Julia Heyward, A. Leroy, John Moran, Moby, Hahn Rowe, Porl Thompson (of The Cure), and Hector Zazou.
Prior to their work on “Fathom,” Neill and Goese, along with playwright Warren Leight, were commissioned by the Brooklyn Academy of Music to create the theatrical work “Persephone” (starring Julia Stiles) for the 2010 Next Wave Festival. The duo later recorded and released the music on their 2011 album, “Songs for Persephone.”
