This weekend at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, ICE (International Contemporary Ensemble) is presenting three concerts of works by Alvin Lucier, a trail-blazing force in contemporary music for over 50 years.
Each concert takes place in the intimate setting of the MCA's fourth-floor atrium--and each concert has a distinct program.
Lucier, himself, will be present at these performances on March 21, 22 and 23 at 7:30 p.m.
Alvin Lucier explores the nature of sound and language in his work. Using the simplest means to create grand aural experiences, his work examines the acoustics of space, psychoacoustics, resonance, and other qualities of sound, itself.
Lucier has been a pioneer in many areas of composition and performance, including notating performers' physical gestures, using brain waves in live performance, generating visual imagery via vibrating media, and evoking the acoustics of rooms for musical purposes.
