Dana Jessen / C. Spencer Yeh & Andrew Lampert

Dana Jessen will perform a series of acoustic improvisations as well as works for bassoon and electronics. Her program features Points Against Fields by Sam Pluta, Fireflies in Winter by Peter V. Swendsen, and of an implacable subtraction by Paula Matthusen. Yeh and Lampert will present the next installment of a collaborative performance first staged at the New Music Circle in St. Louis, MO in Spring 2018. Amplified violin and multiple film projectors are haphazardly paired in a way that purposefully undermines each of the artists’ extended histories operating in the realms of “expanded cinema” and “live scoring”.
