A renowned composer, pianist, and electronic musician, Chris Brown inspires audiences with innovative projects. Currently co-director of the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College, Brown creates music for acoustic instruments with interactive electronics, for computer networks, and for improvising ensembles. In River of Voices, the audience must bring portable radios to receive a live broadcast on one of four low-power FM frequencies. As participants move through the sculpture park, they'll become an animated sound system for the multichannel electronic music piece. Brown, along with Guillermo Galindo will perform and transmit the work live, mixing operatic source material with streams of recorded and live voices in different languages, drawn from a variety of poetic and musical texts. The performance will be a single continuous work based on themes of the river, immigration, and discovery.
