The Open Music series continues its third season with “Our Sense of the Real, Part Two,” an evening of homegrown experimental music by nine local performers. The evening-length piece is by percussionist/director Kevin Sims.
Shows are set for Friday at The State Theatre Attic in State College and Saturday at the Bremen Town Ballroom in Millheim. Both are at 7:30 p.m.
“Our Sense of the Real, Part One” was a silent film about the changing landscape of housing in and around State College.
Part Two is a collage of words from authors Eula Biss and Roy Scranton, as well as articles from the Centre Daily Times and the Centre County Gazette, combined with a wild musical score and a short film to make a multimedia “opera.”
Speaking, singing and screaming voices, electronics, guitar, flute, euphonium, drums, bass, harmonicas and pitch pipes combine forces for this performance.
Open Music is a disparate band of local musicians and an experimental concert series focused on bringing the more playful and thought-provoking side of music to life in intimate live performances.
