Dr. Lynn Vartan<\/a>, associate professor in the new Music Performance<\/a> program that debuted this semester in the College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts<\/a>, will present her first campus performance titled \u201cMemor-ii\u201d on Thursday and Friday at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interarts event \u2014 hosted by the college and the Institute for Applied Creativity<\/a> \u2014 will be held in the Igloo Studio<\/a> on the fourth floor, Room 400A, of the Langford Architecture Center, Building C. Seating for the two-night event is full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one-hour performance features live music and interactive visual design in the studio\u2019s 360-degree screen environment. It was created in collaboration with Michael Bruner<\/a>, instructional assistant professor in Visualization<\/a>; Dr. Jinsil Hwaryoung Seo<\/a>, director of the Institute for Applied Creativity and associate professor in Visualization; and Tim Weaver<\/a>, section chair for Art and Design and instructional associate professor in Visualization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruner, Seo and Weaver designed 360 visual content to interact with the music as Vartan plays the marimba. The performance and the title center around memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMemory is sometimes very clear and other times fleeting, but always a part of who we are,\u201d Vartan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruner created visual accompaniments for several pieces. He said the group experimented with different techniques and technologies to create a dynamic performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor one piece titled \u2018Temazcal,\u2019 I set up a wrist-tracking system that Lynn performs with to change the visuals within the space,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve also helped design the show control system for playing back all of the pieces in sync with Lynn\u2019s performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vartan will debut “Ghost I Used to Know,” written for her by composer Ivan Trevino<\/a>, who is a professor of practice in percussion at the University of Texas at Austin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver developed visuals for \u201cMirror of Heaven\u201d and \u201cGhost I Used to Know,\u201d and collaborated with Bruner on \u201cMiddle Ground Parts 1 and 2.\u201d \u201cMirror of Heaven\u201d and \u201cMiddle Ground\u201d are audio-reactive, Weaver said, which will be reflected in the visuals on the screen as the sounds change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of the animation and movement is choreographed to Lynn\u2019s performance,\u201d Weaver said. \u201cThe visual result felt liked fragmented or broken memory. I loved how it turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaver said he is excited to showcase the animation and movement throughout each sequence. The performance is also immersive in both aural and visual effects, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile the visual work is working as an accompaniment to the music, I really hope the audience does feel part of the performance,\u201d he said. \u201cThey will be feet away from the performer, surrounded by the work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students from acting classes taught by Anne Quackenbush<\/a>, assistant professor of practice in the Theatre<\/a> program, recorded two-minute segment readings of poems and texts about memory with Toby Pipes, music industry relations coordinator. The reading segments will be played between songs. Grace Burton, a Music Performance student, wrote a soundscape of music for one of Vartan\u2019s pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vartan said she hopes guests walk away with an appreciation for interarts performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a merging of live music from our new music program as well as incredible artistry from our Visualization faculty,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are all coming together for what we hope is a moving and beautiful collaboration in an intimate setting totally unique to Texas A&M and our wonderful College of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
