International Contemporary Ensemble’s lighting designer Nick Houfek guides us through a throwback to light organs of the early 20th century and looks forward to new options for today. In his creation of a light synthesizer prototype, he explores the musicality of light with Elizabeth A. Baker, mediaqueer, and Viola Yip. Featuring workshop performances and discussions.

About TUES@7
“Tues@7” are regular opportunities to engage with members and collaborators of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Artists will reflect on past world premieres, pull back the curtain on upcoming works-in-process, and dig deeply into the DigitICE archive to see how collaborations, new works, and sound creations have blossomed over the past 19 years. We look forward to staying engaged in the virtual space through COVID-19 so that our audience and collaborators have a weekly destination for extraordinary new music.
