Silence Please presents: Alice Does Computer Music

Silence Please presents: Alice Does Computer Music at Silence Please, New York on Thu, Aug 6, 2:00 PM. Free entry. Lineup, start time and tickets on Ckord.

one hour of live-sampled cello, field recordings, drifting vocal fragments and interpolations of medieval church music. part through-composed, part improvisatory, all zeroing in on being and atmosphere. Bliss presents four tracks that function as distinct sonic ecosystems, each unfolding with its own internal logic over ten minutes. It serves as an audio diary from a year spent on the move in and outside of NYC, tracing much of Gerlach’s journey across the U.S on tour and through the lush, green landscapes of Ireland. Field recordings serve as concrete anchors to specific moments: glass cracking underfoot in an abandoned Pennsylvania vacation resort, roman candles illuminating an Austin parking lot, and voices echoing through a Syracuse train yard on the day of a solar eclipse. These "sound souvenirs," as described in the first seconds of “Train yard,” form the foundation for each piece, with additional composition layers reflecting internal, dreamlike states experienced in these uncanny locations. The result is deeply personal and maps both physical and psychological territories, transforming fleeting moments of transcendence and disintegration into a cohesive sonic expedition.
