Resonant Beauty: Mathematical Foundations in Music with Loop38

  • Menil Drawing Institute 1412 West Main Street Houston, TX, 77006 United States (map)

In response to the exhibition Hanne Darboven—Writing Time, musicians from Loop38 will explore themes of mathematics, time, and abstraction.

Just as Hanne Darboven visualizes history and the passing of time in her work through calculations, representation, and collage, this program will explore how composers draw inspiration from these concepts sonically. Music and math have always been intimately connected, and composers continue to find new ways of using numbers to explore new artistic frontiers. 


On the Program:

Andy Akiho - Karakurenai (2007)

György Ligeti - Continuum (1968)

Hanne Darboven - Op. 45, No. 11 (2005)

John Luther Adams - Four Thousand Holes (2010)
