New Sounds Live William Duckworth's "Cathedral," the 5-year multimedia internet music project November 17 at the World Financial Center's Winter Garden William Duckworth's Cathedral | Building - Chartres (www.monroestreet.com/Cathedral) WILLIAM DUCKWORTH’s CATHEDRAL Live performance of William Duckworth’s 5-year multimedia internet music project, “Cathedral,” with WiFi hookups available for the audience to play along on virtual instruments. World Financial Center Winter Garden Wednesday, November 17th at 7PM 220 Vesey Street Battery Park City ››› Directions Admission FREE » New Sounds Live 2004-2005 Concert Season William Duckworth's Cathedral - Nostradamus - Chartres - www.monroestreet.com/Cathedral/ Hear (and play along!) with William Duckworth’s interactive music-making project, Cathedral, in the vaulted glass cathedral of the Winter Garden. There’s acoustic and computer music to be heard and made on newly created virtual instruments and conventional ones as part of this Cathedral performance. Created specifically for the World Wide Web, the Cathedral project was constructed around a collection of five mystical moments in time; the building of the Great Pyramid, the building of the cathedral at Chartres, the founding of the Ghost Dance religion of Native Americans in the late 19th century, the building of the atomic bomb, and the founding of the world wide web. The whole Cathedral Project is made up of the website; the PitchWeb, which is one of the virtual instruments designed for the site to allow listeners to play together online; and The Cathedral Band, a group of improvising musicians that gives periodic live performances from venues around the world, during which PitchWeb players can contribute to the concert. The Cathedral Band includes Stuart Dempster, trombone, toys, and didgeridoo; Abel Domingues, guitar; William Duckworth, PitchWeb; Nora Farrell, PitchWeb Moderator; Arthur J. Sabatini, The Chronicler; DJ Tamara, records; "Blue" Gene Tyranny, keyboards. Sit in with The Cathedral Band using the PitchWeb through wi-fi hookups. You’ll need both Shockwave and Quicktime installed to experiment with the PitchWeb, (check your settings at www.pitchweb.net) the virtual instrument that allows anyone to play along with Cathedral in real time by making music out of shapes. It feels kind of like a giant chat-room, but with music-making capabilities. Your sonic building blocks come in several sets, sampled to order by the palette of colors and shapes which are the basis for player-composers who choose the elements of the music to be crafted. More about how to use and play with the Pitchweb: www.pitchweb.net .:::. A seed hidden in the heart of an apple is an orchard invisible.
