October’s edition of Chatter Late Works features return visitor and new music specialist, baritone Jeffrey Gavett from NYC in works for voice, microtonal keyboards, percussion, and electronics by Taylor Brook and Horațiu Rădulescu. Brook’s The Machine Stops sets an unusually prescient science fiction short story by E.M. Forster, describing a future where all of humanity are living beneath the surface of the Earth in a machine through which they have their every need met. And Radulescu’s These Occult Oceans sets the live voice against 17 pre-recorded voices, exploring drone, spectral reflection, and subtle build. The evening begins with a short set of solo works for bitKlavier, the “prepared digital piano” instrument developed by Dan Trueman, Mike Mulshine, and Matt Wang at Princeton University.
