Game Theory April 1, 2011

“I felt like I was assisting Marconi on his first transatlantic radio signal.” Lisle Ellis, New York conductor, on his first experience with the Mad Scientist Machine.

Two concerts, each a unique event, will use Stefan Smulovitz’s innovative Mad Scientist Machine, a program that enables conductors from around North America to collaborate with live musicians performing in real time here in Vancouver. It will be a fantastic rollercoaster ride featuring seven directors including Sarah Weaver, Lisle Ellis and Todd Reynolds (all New York), Paul Cram (Halifax) and in Vancouver Coat Cooke, Giorgio Magnanensi and Smulovitz.

Orkestra Futura will feature a stellar ensemble of DB Boyko (voice), Stefan Smulovitz (laptop electronics), Chad MacQuarrie (guitar, radio, electronics), Tommy Babin (bass), Kenton Loewen (drums) and Coat Cooke (leader and saxophones).

In addition, the concerts will feature instant dance and choreography by the acclaimed dancer Delia Brett and a new game piece created by Coat Cooke.

Each show will be a unique event, so plan ahead and come to both nights!
