About this Event

Michael Cella aka nnirror is an artist and software developer from the Midwest USA. He will improvise a set of abstract electronics with Facet, an open-source live coding environment he has developed, and Max/MSP. Disaster Taxa is a polytempic suite of 21 miniatures for sextet, combining experimental jazz and free improvisation with multiple independent, simultaneous tempo streams. Live performance is enabled by networked software that serves as an animated 'conductor' for each part. Disaster Taxa was composed by Derek Worthington, and is performed by the new sextet Pulse Width Modulation, featuring Matt Riggen, Aaron Kaufman-Levine, Luc Mosley, Julian Quall, Daniel Thatcher, and Adam Shead.
