“The word ‘viral,’ comes to mind as a trendy but disquietingly accurate\u00a0image for Robert Voisey’s infectious enthusiasm. He is always ready to
\nmutate and reinfect the process as indicated to maintain the highest degree\u00a0of project fever” – Richard Arnest, Sounding Board<\/p>\n
Composing electroacoustic and chamber music, his aesthetic oscillates from\u00a0the Romantic to the Post Modern Mash-Up. Voisey’s electronic work ranges
\nwildly in style and aesthetic but has the common feature of being\u00a0collaborative and community orientated. Some of his current projects\u00a0include: one minute electronic works for 60×60; 50 second miniatures named\u00a0for each State in the Union; and Constellations, a project of miniature\u00a0ambient pieces put together in a mobile form.<\/p>\n
Rob Voisey’s neo-romantic chamber works are routinely performed in New York\u00a0City on the Composer’s Voice concert series and his 10 minute opera was
\nfeatured on “Opera Shorts” produced by the Remarkable Theater Brigade. His\u00a0chamber works are routinely featured in New York on the Composer’s Voice
\nconcert series as well as other new music performances<\/p>\n
program notes:
\nConfessions of a Digital Proselyte is Morneau’s second solo electronic music album, a set of raucous experiments creating an utterly unique blend of rhythms, atmospheres and chaotic sonic detritus seamlessly integrating old school industrial intensity with an undeniably fresh strain of digitized rampage. Tonight he is performing Mortal Sin(e) and Venial Sin(e).<\/p>\n
Constellations is a layered mix of many one-minute ambient miniatures. Each\u00a0miniature is named after a constellation and almost exclusively uses vocal
\nsamples from the voice of Robert Voisey. These miniatures are used like a\u00a0sonic mobile which can be used in any order, layered on top of one another,
\nwith any subset, or repeated to create a new sonic “mix”. Each new mix is\u00a0named after the venue which premiers the specific Constellation mix.<\/p>\n
In the tradition of American storytelling, “Lab” belongs to the aesthetic of\u00a0Robert Ashley’s operas. The oral tradition is well established and its
\nartistry relies not only on the content of the story but also on the\u00a0telling. Many of the methods and structure parallel musical composition.\u00a0Plot, pacing, and inflection relate directly to form, tempo, and timbre\u00a0respectively. “Lab” is a story about a time in Robert Voisey’s life. It is\u00a0also a reflection of youth and its naive rush toward the inevitable. This\u00a0work is composed and performed by Elevator Machine Room (Robert Voisey and\u00a0David Morneau).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Elevator Machine Room is an idea born in a late night stale-whiskey-and-cold-french-fry induced haze. It is manifested in the performances of Robert Voisey and David Morneau. These composers work together to create epic stories and soundscapes using little more than their wits and computer savvy. Elevator Machine Room is unlike anything else you’ve ever heard. There are no happy endings or intellectual ennui, only cold-hard truth and sloppy electronic soundscapes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[3,14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2330"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2332,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2330\/revisions\/2332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.gallerymc.org\/h\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
