Music performance: AUSTIN LARKIN and JOHN MCCOWEN

Join us on Tuesday, October for a live music performance with Austin Larkin and John McCowen.

Austin Larkin primarily works with violin, sirens, and bells. With these instruments his focus is on elemental experiences of tone - fields, durations, and patterns that emerge through resonance and distortion. His performance and practice is informed by research into dimensions of vibrating bodies. Recent work centers inner ear shapes and rendering space as material in addition to medium.John McCowen’s musical life has become an obsession with discovering a polyphonic language on a historically monophonic instrument - the clarinet. This has led him to a unique acoustic vocabulary that is akin to a shifting soundscape of electronic feedback. John’s multiphonic approach is based in drones, difference tones, and beating harmonics as a means to showcase the compositional potential within a single, acoustic sound source.
