Four humans and the Freely Improvising Learning and Transforming Evolutionary Recombination system in concert Sunday July 13, 2014 Troy NY

David Arner The marriage of art and science has as one of its myriad beginnings one question, “What bird is that I hear?” Aristotle, the first person in Western civilization who asked (and answered) that question, also asked, “What is art?” Ever since, interweaving threads of inquiry, observation, experimentation and creativity on the part of ornithologists, inventors, musicians and an army of dedicated amateur birders continue to ask more questions, seeking whatever insights may come to light.
David Arner’s wall-size spectrogram score for his “Abstract Songs for Birds: American Goldfinch ” will be on display.

David Arner, Pauline Oliveros and Doug Van Nort play with Van Nort’s FILTER—the Freely Improvising, Learning, and Transforming Evolutionary Recombination system, at Roulette.
