A classically trained composer and pianist, San Francisco-based Donald Swearingen's strong commitment to musical experimentation has sent him along numerous paths, from the garage band to the concert stage to computer networks. His work at the time of this concert concerned the use of movement and gesture as the source of media control in an expanded, computer assisted performance environment. The lost emotions of food you ate remain in the utensils that ripped it up and prepared the meal. Donald has resurrected the echoes of these sentiments and presents them to you under a magnifying glass, in his piece “Cooking Demonstration”. All sounds verbatim from Swearingen's kitchen. |
