UC Riverside Department of Music presents:

Carolyn Chen, “Listening in Motion”

How do we hear differently while moving instead of sitting still? I share a few recent pieces that explore listening and music-making while in motion. The Language of Birds is a site-specific installation and listening tour in Santa Cruz's Evergreen Cemetery inspired by the mythology of birdsong and perception-altering dragon's blood. How to Fall Apart is a quintet for dancers and string players discussing cosmic, natural, and human processes of disintegration, aging, and falling apart. How to be a Bat is a series of audience participation experiments practicing skills of listening at location, contextualizing a string quartet responding to a moving speaker. 

Part of the 2024-2025 Florence Bayz Music Series

The Florence Bayz Music Series offers online concerts, lectures, and presentations of academic research by Department of Music faculty, postdoctoral researchers, students, and international guest artists and scholars.

Dr. Amy Skjerseth (she/her), Assistant Professor of Popular Music, Coordinator
