NEW TECHNOLOGY • NEW INSTRUMENTS • NEW MUSIC

Increasing in popularity and sophistication, and ever more user friendly, current digital technology is to contemporary composers what the 18th Century development of the piano was to composers of that time, bringing with it a humanizing of the ubiquitous computer through the artist's interaction and vision.  We have come a long way since the perceived gap between acoustic and electronic music production. We have entered a new era in which computers  interact with the here and now of live performance.

The MMiX Festival of Interactive Music Technology, produced by Theaterlab, radio producer Jocelyn Gonzales, and curated by Patrick Grant, is dedicated to the interplay of creativity and technology in the development of live performance. The artists presented in MMiX have set a new bar in that discourse.

The festival will include live performances, media installations and workshops.

The Festival offers to the public the opportunity for a close encounter with cutting edge artists who will present their latest work reflecting research into the open-source field of real time digital music and performance. From the framing, reshuffling, repeating sound of Joshua Fried, to the unique poetry of Todd Reynolds and his violin, from the conceptual and mathematical world of Luke Dubois to the spinning Basement Bangra of DJ Rekha, The MMiX festival promises to tune your ears to the sound of the future.
