I will be in residence as an Associate Artist at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, from June 25 through mid-July, hosted by composer and ACA Master Artist Melinda Wagner. I'm excited to have the opportunity to share ideas with other associate composers, as well as other master artists Pepón Osorio (visual artist) and Marie Howe (poet).
I will be collaborating with Expressive Instruments Musical Machines on a new piece for amplified bassoon and MARIE (Monochord-Aerophone Robotic Instrument Ensemble), which will be premiered at the 2012 Sound and Music Computing Conference at Aalborg University in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July. I'm excited to have the opportunity to compose for such a unique medium, and will be sure to share videos and recordings here after the conference. Check out EMMI's website to see MARIE in action, and learn about the fascinating work they do!
The Lydian String Quartet, with Jennifer Ashe, gave a fantastic premiere of my doctoral dissertation composition, String Quartet No. 1 for string quartet, soprano, and live electronics. The Justice described the performance as having a "dramatic richness. . . Lane reconstructed the elements of sound and the role of electronics and voice to form a new sort of musical, portraying the entire arc of life, death and renewal." (Viet Tran, The Justice). You can listen to the piece and see the score on the Works page. Chek out the recording:
