MAX MURRAY, PhD Candidate in Music
An evening-length work for three performers, “Georgic” is a composed meditation on the slaughter of the American bison during the late nineteenth century. Each of the three performers is both musician and actor, situated in the field of a work-encompassing fixed media component — pre-recorded sound and image both engulfing and articulated by, the concentrated actions of the live performers moving within a starkly reduced scenic disposition. The finished piece will premiere on May 8, 2020 at the Harvard ArtLab. At this critique we will listen to 20 minutes of music, watch a 10-minute film piece, and hear Max’s brief presentation outlining the work’s scenic conception. RSVP
