Nathaniel Bartlett: Modern Marimba September 12, 2006

Artist's Statement: I specialize in serious Western art music of our time on an instrument of our time -- the modern marimba. In addition to performing works for solo marimba, many of the works in my repertoire involve high-definition, ambisonic (multi-dimensional or "surround sound"), computer-generated sounds. Through the use of a high-powered computer, other electronics, and multiple high-definition speakers, I am able to project and move sound anywhere in a concert space -- total immersion in sound. In fact, the computer-generated sounds relate quite well to the visual arts in that concepts of objecthood and spacial structure become a part of the musical fabric.
