Composer Spotlight:
Joshua Kohl & Jeff Huston
Creating the music for c(H)ord with inkBoat
Wed, September 10, 7:30pm
Joshua Kohl and Jeff Huston will discuss the process of creating the music for San Francisco-based dance theater company inkBoat's new work c(H)ord. The music for this project was created by recording hours of source material on home made instruments and then taking that material and "remixing" it through software created by Huston.
Kohl is a founding member of Degenerate Art Ensemble and has worked as music director, composer and performer since the beginning. His compositions have included works for dance, silent film, concert ensembles, classico-punk-big-band and street performances - always striving to expand the possibilities of multi media art. He is also the conductor For DAE's orchestral work.
Jeff Huston is a Seattle based guitarist, composer and improviser. In the past few years he has been recording his own music, performing in Seattle, Minneapolis and Philadelphia with choreographer Paige Barnes, and experimenting with many different ways of organizing sound. Jeff earned a Bachelors of Music from Cornish College of the Arts where he studied with Dave Peterson, Julian Priester, Jim Knapp and Chuck Deardorf.
