Pamela Z Live
Nov 24, 2009
Co-Presented by University of Washington, Bothell
Pamela Z will perform an evening of solo works for voice, electronics, and video. She will create texturally complex layers and loops by processing her voice using gesture-activated MIDI controllers to trigger samples and manipulate audio and video in real time. This program will combine short, stand-alone pieces with excerpts from many of Ms. Z’s full-evening intermedia performance works – including segments from her latest work-in-progress “Baggage Allowance" - providing a representative survey of an extensive body of work.
