Seattle’s new chamber music series, Kin of the Moon, debuts at its spiritual home, the Chapel Performance Space, as part of the Wayward Music Series. Composer/vocalist Kaley Lane Eaton, flutist Leanna Keith, and violist Heather Bentley perform an innovative program of new electroacoustic and acoustic music that transcends genre and classification. Featuring Pulitzer-prize finalist Kate Soper’s Only the Words Themselves Mean What They Say, Eaton, Keith, and Bentley’s collaborative electroacoustic improvisation Atmokinesis, and new works from Eaton and others, this program provides a portal into the daring, cutting-edge work of Seattle new music’s iconoclastic women.
Please take a look and a listen to Kaley Eaton's new installation: wilderness for nine loudspeakers will be presented in all its three dimensional wonderfulness on November 18!
