Center for New Music: Surround Sound Salon Series (SSSS) #4
$15 ($10 member/student)
Sally Decker / Brendan Glasson — New work TBA (world premiere)
Chris Brown — Vav
Music by John Bischoff, All Vessels (Sally Decker and Brendan Glasson), and Chris Brown, realized by the computer network music band The Hub.
SSSS is a monthly, informal show at CNM in which electronic music composers present their fixed media and/or live electronic music through the 8-channel surround system, generously provided by Meyer Sound. The composers mix their sounds from the center of the space, and the audience is free to choose their own listening location, and to move within the space to hear the music from different vantage points. This concert celebrates the CD release of John Bischoff’s Bitplicity on ArtifactRecordings, with copies for sale at the show.
COVID-19 Protocols:
- Masks are required for all in attendance.
- Attendees are required to be fully vaccinated.
Audience capacity is reduced, so purchase your tickets early!
About All Vessels
All Vessels is Sally Decker and Brendan Glasson. Sally and Brendan explore relationships of sounds. With synthesizers, organ, and electronic feedback, their first collaborative release, "An Opening" (Full Spectrum, 2020), sought to create a harmony not of pitches but of forces – weak/strong, energetic/subdued, steady/chaotic. In a recent piece composed for the High Desert Soundings festival, they examined dependence, independence, and interdependence with tape, reed organ, electronics, and acoustic feedback.

The Hub is an American "computer network music" ensemble formed in 1986 consisting of John Bischoff, Tim Perkis, Chris Brown, Scot Gresham-Lancaster, Mark Trayle and Phil Stone. The Hub was the first live computer music band whose members were all composers, as well as designers and builders of their own hardware and software.
They have collaborated with Rova Saxophone Quartet, Nick Collins, Phill Niblock, and Alvin Curran. They currently perform around the world after a multi-year hiatus, ending in 2004.
In 2018, The Hub was awarded the Giga-Hertz Prize for lifetime achievement in electronic music by ZKM in Karlsruhe, Germany.
