From August 9 to 11, Vancouver’s Redshift Music and Victoria’s Open Space Arts Society will present a series of free new music concerts in alternative, public venues in Vancouver, North Vancouver, and Victoria. Inspired by the transponder, an instrument that reads and transmits sound signals during SONAR communication to navigate, measure distance, and track positions, Transpondings brings together ten composers from these cities to create
new pieces exploring communication methods that will be performed live and transmitted to surrounding ears. These composers are: North Vancouver’s Kristopher Fulton, and Jordan Nobles; Vancouver’s Martin Ritter, Alyssa Aska, and Stefan Hintersteininger; and Victoria’s Daniel Brandes, Stefan Maier, Kristy Farkas, Lynne Penhale, and Kimberley Shepherd. Performing these new compositions will be the Vertical Orchestra, Redshift’s flagship ensemble for spatialized music made up of musicians from these communities.Event Concert #1
