It will be a large scale collaborative project, working with a number of different groups and organisations, creating a piece of c. 15 minutes taking inspiration from George Crumb’s "Star Child". Stephen Montague will be taking the creative lead and it will be using the space within the Barbican foyers, also working with dance and drama students.</p>London Improvisers Orchestra, 29th Novemberurn:md5:a8813f5da973b267a3191cac2181be5921/11/200921/11/2009Sonia Paço-RocchiaJuly to December 2009ensemble: LIO <p>I’m going to bassoon-improvise on a boat with the London Improvisers Orchestra!<br />

<p><strong><em><a href="https://musinou.net/site/?sticky-pathways">Sticky Pathways</a></em></strong>:<br />
<em>As it is a space specific work it will be quite different from the <a href="https://musinou.net/site/?sticky-pathways">premiere last March</a></em>.<br />
<br />
<em>Choreographer’s note:</em><br />
<em>Sticky Pathways is an unfolding labyrinth of rambling dimensions and slanted reflections where people exist on the cusp of dream and reality.</em><br />
<br />
<em>Music note:</em><br />
<em>In Lucy’s Sticky Pathway the music has been involved in the creative process at all times. From the beginning we did dance and music improvisation where the dance and music influence each other. For this work it was very important to have a strong link between the dance and the music and to integrate completely the music and the musician in the work itself as well as incorporating sounds made by the dancers in the music. To be able to make this mutual influence dynamic we used live music either solo or with live electronics (bassoon, treble recorder solo and voice with live electronics) or accelerometers to follow closely the movements of the dancers. (Accelerometers from Nintendo Wii Remotes that control the sound in an application programmed by Sonia Paço-Rocchia using Max/MSP)</em><br />

It is a very interesting challenge for composers and if they success, the music would be played extremely musically because amateur players do it because they like contemporary music, and often put the time needed to understand the music.</p>
<p>Last autumn <a href="http://www.coma.org/London">CoMA London</a> worked with <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/review/1912980.stm">Paul Morley</a> who decided to study composition at the Royal Academy of Music without having any classical training. We played sketches of his music and we also performed his piece in a concert in the <a href="https://musinou.net/site/?royal-academy-of-music-open-score-concert">Royal Academy of Music, 3rd March 2009</a>. <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/series/paul-morley-showing-off">Here we can find some intermediate videos</a> of his work to make a complete documentary based on this one year of learning composition.</p>

Watch the books as they watch you, while actors, dancers, musicians and artists make their own journeys, finding their way around their surreal house of words...

Also featuring work by several American artists who have created pieces to be given away to the audience.
There will be plenty to do: events and new poetry will be available for you to read, or you can just sit back and read the books already in the library, watch the live simultaneous performances, absorb the visual art, take part - enjoy yourself!</p>

l reed & b yianni / world premier / fourth plinth / trafalgar square / london / 13th july / 2009</p>
<p>Acrophobia, from the Greek ’akron’ (peak) and ’phobos’ (fear) is a fear of heights and is extremely common. It is now widely believed that fear of height is a response we are all born with and is an evolutionary adaptation. Mild suffers like myself will experience rising heart rate, a knot in the stomach, sweaty palms and inertia.</p>
<p>the composition ’the ebb of acrophobia’ is an attempt to reflect the state of mind and physical condition of the living sculpture on the plinth and, through score, signals and improvisation interpret his changing state / the outcome is largely unknown</p>

<p>The Fourth Plinth</p>
<p>From 6 July 2009 the Fourth Plinth in the north west of Trafalgar Square is home to Antony Gormley’s One & Other, an astonishing living monument. He is asking the people of the UK to occupy the empty Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, a space normally reserved for statues of Kings and Generals, in an image of themselves, and a representation of the whole of humanity.</p>
<p>The plinth is being occupied by different people every hour, 24 hours a day, for 100 days.</p>

<hr />
<p>Performance: 11th July 2009, Leytonstone Festival</p>
<p>The Great Learning is a piece of music written by Cornelius Cardew in the late 60’s and early 70’s. It features performers who have little or no musical training, in an attempt to free the music from the preconceptions and habits of conventionally trained players. The Great Learning draws on text from the Confucian book of the same name, which is recited and sung at regular intervals throughout the piece. When performed in its entirety the piece is very long (6 1/2 hours in total), broken down into 7 separate sections or Paragraphs.</p>
