A Live Improvisation Concert Featuring Salvatore Martirano's Sal-Mar Construction
Date: December 11, 2011
Time: 1:00-3:00pm
Location: Sousa Archives and Center for American Music, Champaign Illinois USA
This special concert of improvised music will feature a mélange of local musicians performing on a variety of traditional and new music instruments with the Sal-Mar Construction, built from the TTL logic boards of the ILLIAC II by Salvatore Martirano, Sergio Franco, and ILLIAC III designers Rich Borovec and James Divilbiss.
The instrument is believed to be the earliest interactive music synthesizer to combine the essential elements of human conversation and music improvisation into a continuous performance event, and this concert will highlight the unique nature of this early electro-acoustic instrument.
Performers will include Ken Beck, Gregory Danner, Dorothy Martirano, Barry Morse, Jacob Barton, John Toenjes, Jason Finkelman, and Jeff Zahos.
