Urvogel was presented in 2010 at the Irish Chamber Orchestra (ICO) building in University Limerick as part of Contemporary Music Ireland: New Music Marathon and again in 2011 at the Music Under The Influence Of Computers (MUTIOC) Visions Festival in San Diego. The composition of Urvogel utilises many strategies but has as its focus a use of sonic objects as gestural sonic tokens that create counterpoint. Gesture in music stems from a generic level of perception, where it is tied to gestalt perception, motor movement and mental imagery.
Gestures, accordingly, are rich gestalts, that combine auditory information (hearing and sonic 'movement') with implied visual information (imagining and movement in the visual field) and somato-sensory information (sensation and bodily movement). At a higher level of cognition, gestures are organized in groups and sequences, leading to musical form and narrative. Urvogel was composed through exploring the potential of gestural counterpoint in
contiguous sonic objects and thus investigating how sonic objects perceived as gestural sonic tokens become foretokens that present possibilities and prospects in the development of narrative, in both the micro and macro levels of composition.
This work was composed using Logic Pro's sculpture and heavy processing of found sounds. The two main sound sources used were the recording of a Moth trapped behind a Venetian blind and a man trying to get out of a wet leather jacket. "Urvogel means "First Bird". Originally mixed to 4 channel (48k X 24 bit), mixed down here for stereo. For best listen in Stereo not headphones.

From Mozart, to Steve Reich, to Chet Baker, Bruce Wood Dance's season opener should live up to its title: "Glow." In this conversation with WRR's Amy Bishop, BWD Artistic Director Joy Bollinger gives a sneak peek into the pieces on the program. They also discuss a wide range of other dance topics:
What its like to work with a living choreographer to premiere their work? What are the differences of dancing to live music as opposed to recorded? How is dance choreography chronicled, so that it can be passed down generation from generation? If you love all things dance, you'll enjoy this conversation!

"ARRIVAL" is a dance piece that explores the complex nature of relationships. Two people
together from two different worlds. Though their worlds have not yet collided, they are right
next to each other, there’s a quiet tension, a sense of awareness that something more is
developing beneath the surface.
