Auditory Scenes

Yarn/Wire presents commissions from two composers fascinated with the nature of sound production and perception. Eric Wubbels’ Diagrams of the Ear is premiered in a new, extended version and finds Wubbels “thinking about hearing, thinking about listening, thinking about the physiology and the neurology and the psychology of listening but then treating that very much with just a sense of curiosity.” Clara Iannotta’s glass and stone is a multimedia exploration of the distinct sonic properties of physical materials.
