Evening Length Performance
Composer Amy Williams invented the word “Cineshape” to describe musical compositions that draw structural inspiration from films. There are now five Cineshape pieces, each inspired by a different film: Chunhyang, Time Code, Lives of Others, Run Lola Run, and Rope. Aaron Henderson, working with scientists that are researching extremely fast, extremely small, and exquisitely ordered things, created a responsive projection design to accompany these compositions.
Together they have turned these five compositions into a multimedia performance with live film processing by Henderson and an all-star lineup of performers, including the JACK Quartet, flutist Lindsey Goodman, percussionist Scott Christian, and the composer at the piano.
