SONG CYCLE will be performed at sundown on June 2, 2022 at SBCAST (starts at 8 PM)
followed by a concert performance by Curtis Roads.
Both performances are supported by the SYSTEMICS PUBLIC EVENTS fund and private donors.
On June 2, the MEDIA ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY is proud to present a guest performance of SONG CYCLE, first premiered on April 9, 2022 at the La Phil. Song Cycle is an immersive performance that describes an emergent world of music, or all the music that could ever happen. The text is randomly generated as a work of process poetry and is set within a texture of mystic drones, the sound of the rain pressed into vinyl, early drum machines, and generous harmonies accompanied by an evolving floral arrangement. Song Cycle is performed by the loose ambient collective superteam and florist Alexandra Rose Franco. The performance is a collaboration between artists Chris Kallmyer and Zoe Aja Moore.

Media Arts and Technology (MAT) at UCSB is a transdisciplinary graduate program that fuses emergent media, computer science, engineering, electronic music and digital art research, practice, production, and theory. Created by faculty in both the College of Engineering and the College of Letters and Science, MAT offers an unparalleled opportunity for working at the frontiers of art, science, and technology, where new art forms are born and new expressive media are invented.
