To observe his 70th year, composer, multi-instrumentalist, producer, author, and artist Elliott Sharp will present a number of concerts and recordings under the rubric E#@70. Roulette is proud to present the first concert in this series, featuring the world premiere of four new works created for this event and performed by Sharp’s open-ended ensemble SysOrk. Sharp’s work with graphic notation and algorithmic systemic approaches dates back to 1972. His compositions include works for opera, orchestra, string quartet, computer and electronics, and solo instruments and he has been a dedicated practitioner of improvisation.
The pieces include Oksusgenos for bass clarinet and electronics performed by Sharp, two algorithmic scores – Feedback 21 and Viridia – and a long-form animated graphic score titled ReGenerate. Sharp will also perform Over Water, a collaborative work from 2019 featuring video projection by Janene Higgins and guitar work by Sharp.
The broadcast will take place at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific.
