Laptop Ensemble at Rewire Festival

  • Studio Theater in PSU's Lincoln Hall Portland, OR (map)

Geomorph is a laptop ensemble composition about stability, change and the interplay between human and natural worlds. The score includes 3D-rendered landscapes, with plausible yet otherworldly dimensions; a series of mindfulness meditation prompts; and software that synchronizes the images, prompts and custom-built synthesizers. Performers place themselves in the pictured worlds, performing the topography via prompts using sounds that evoke natural forces on both gradual and rapid time scales. SAMPLE will also be incorporating ice sounds recorded and collected by the ensemble.

Ashlin Aronin is a sound and software artist involved in virtual placemaking. Aronin explores affectivity under capitalism through a lens of ecology and the sacred, manifesting as interactive experiences, music, virtual and IRL installations.
