OUT of CHAOS
by Gravity & Other Myths
At its conceptual center, OUT of CHAOS is a story of how things come together.
People, planets and plans… Audience, performer, sound and light… The thoughts that shape us and in turn define how we make sense of our inner and outer worlds.
The piece moves with agility between chaotic creation stories and our seemingly ordered understanding of the here and now, all the while hinting at the strange space between knowing and contemplating our mortal significance.
In Out of Chaos, the solo musician wields a custom-built iPad interface which allows him to collect emergent sounds on stage to create and deliver a live score simultaneously as the show unfolds. The resulting experience is an ever emerging,changing musical score that is risky and vulnerable, yet alive and electric.
