On July 9 1776,
five days after America separated from England, the Declaration of Independence
was read aloud in New York City.
Concrete Timbre recreates the Declaration
along with other original compositions reviving revolutionary ideas
with contemporary relevance through music, text, and visuals in a multidisciplinary exploration
of freedom, independence, free-thinking, and relationships
with genres ranging from
jazz to poetry to electro-acoustic to classical.
