Portland 2020
Portland State University's Sonic Arts and Music Production's Laptop Ensemble and School of Film Experimental Production present:
PORTLAND 2020
Saturday, Dec 5 @ noon
streaming live @ Holocene.org
Portland State University's Sonic Arts and Music Production's Laptop Ensemble will be live streaming several new compositions including PORTLAND 2020, a film with live score created in collaboration with PSU's School of Film Experimental Production. In addition to the group collaboration, individual filmmakers partnered with members of the ensemble to create original scores for their short films.
The Laptop Ensemble is an ensemble of humans, laptops, controllers, and speakers. Ensemble members both compose and perform in the ensemble, exploring computer-mediated instrument design, sound synthesis, programming, and live interactive performance. The experimental filmmakers work with archival found footage, 16mm direct animation, original live action digital and computer generated images to provide the visual elements of the program. The short films represent a range of approaches reflecting and responding to our present social and political conditions.

Still We Rise Part I
Due to Covid-19 gathering restrictions, the 40 members of the PSU Chamber Choir could not meet as a full ensemble. Nonetheless, we persevered making music wearing masks and rehearsing mostly outdoors. Still We Rise: Part I features a variety of smaller groups made up of members of the Portland State Chamber Choir performing music by Black, Brown and Indigenous composers including Shireen Abu-Khader, Marques Garrett, Matthew Lyon-Hazard, Frank Duarte, Samuel Taylor-Coleridge, Daphine Chibinga, Jason Harris and Remel Derick. You will also hear from many of the composers themselves. The performances were recorded in the exquisite acoustics of St. Philip Neri Catholic Church.
