The Ends of Histories for piano and computer (digital video and audio) was commissioned by and is dedicated to pianist Kari Johnson.   The work presents sonic and visual materials meant to represent various historical and contemporary ideas regarding how history ends.  There are four types of materials that develop non-linearly in the work and are treated as incommensurable.  The materials represent the following conceptions of the end of history: a polarized religious ending to history whereby everyone either ascends into a pleasant world or descends into fire; a prophetic, spiritual, transcendent end that has appeared in many forms throughout history and is currently represented by the idea that there will be some kind of transition or cataclysm at the “end” of the Mayan calendar in 2012; a socio-political end in which capitalist-democracy supplants all other ideologies and all nation-states transition to this system; and two scientific ends, either mass extinctions as the earth approaches a giant ball of radiation or when an asteroid hits the earth.  view video here: http://www.christopherbiggsmusic.com/cb/works/multimedia/ends_histories.html

All Things Are Delicately Interconnected

Noah Creshevsky is an early pioneer of electronic and collage music who has been composing since 1971. He was trained by Luciano Berio at Juilliard and Nadia Boulanger in Paris, collaborated with John Cage on the track “In other words” for the EM Records release ‘The Tape Music of Noah Creshevsky’, and later became a teacher and director of the Center for Computer Music at Brooklyn College and a visiting professor at Princeton University.

‘Reanimator’ is a collection of Noah’s work spanning over three decades, including the new composition “Belle de Jour”. Other pieces like 1980’s “Strategic Defense Initiative” — a blend of kung fu movie sounds, bell samples, and pitch-shifted abstract sound design — are clear precursors to the flourishing post-90s computer music movement, while “Lisa Barnard Redux” and “Tomomi Adachi Précis” — collaborations with vocalists Lisa Barnard and Tomomi Adachi — also combine a modern classical sensibility and exhilarating computer collage.
