Holly Nadal (voice and electronics) and David Nadal (electric guitar) present six world premieres by the composers of the Random Access Music composers’ collective. These works chart new musical territories while bridging the gap between traditional and experimental composition for voice and guitar. By channeling a wide variety of techniques, musical styles and sounds, Ursula’s End ushers in the arrival of a new form of art song for the 21st century.
Ursula’s End is Holly and David Nadal. Holly is a vocalist who specializes in “straight-tone” vocal technique and is a gifted arranger and transcriber. She is a proponent of both ancient and new music, having arranged works for performance by composers from various time periods and styles ranging from Meredith Monk to Hildegard von Bingen. Meredith Monk has called Holly “her musical grand-daughter.” David is a master of both the acoustic and electric guitar, and he has published books (by Dover Press) in genres ranging from guitar arrangements of the music of John Dowland to arrangements of baroque and classical masterpieces for electric guitar.
Please join us this Saturday for RAM’s first concert of 2007. In collaboration with The Lost Dog New Music Ensemble, we’ll present a concert of 6 world premieres by the members of the Random Access Music composers’ collective. The concert will take place at the TenRi Cultural Institute 43A west 13th Steet, Manhattan.
