25 composers will participate in a "Siteworks: Composer Soup Throwdown” event on 5/24/26 at Herbert Von King Park in Brooklyn and CultureLab LIC in Long Island City, Queens. Composers’ audio files will have been loaded into MIDI triggering webcam stations, which will be placed in a spatial arrangement around the performance area. Composers (and any park/gallery viewers) can wander around the stations throughout the event, triggering sounds as they like with their movements. Composers will hear their own sounds and the sounds of the other participating composers as the MIDI instruments cycle through the sounds periodically (and anonymously). Additionally, four Ensemble Ipse musicians will wander among the stations and improvise with the sounds. Participating composers and viewers can “cook” with the musicians!
Participating composers: Adam Mamula, Alon Nechushtan , Alyse Murray, Andy Li, Bob Goldberg, Brian Ellis, Chris Zacharias, Dustin Carlson, Edmund Song, Edwin O. Munera, Eleonor Sandresky, Emma Cardamone, Erich Barganier, Ian Wiese, James Budinich, Jason Matthew Malli, Jon F. Howe, Josiah Seth Pervis, Julienne K. Tsang, Peter Vukmirovic Stevens, Robert Carl, Seong Ae Kim, Smee Wong, Tianyi Wang, Zachary Ritter
