From the KPBS weekend arts preview:The Nunavut Inuit indigenous community in Canada follows at least six seasons on their calendar, based on hunting and migration cues. This calendar informed a new work from composer and UC San Diego professor of music Lei Liang, based on a long collaboration with Scripps Institute of Oceanography scientists specifically recordings made from the floor of the remote Chukchi Sea by oceanographers. In a live performance, Liang weaves new music with those sounds from the ocean, including water noises, the movement of ice and the sounds of belugas and other ocean creatures. The composition's title might suggest Vivaldi, but Liang's piece explores the transitions and journeys found in the sea, inspired by each Inuit season.The piece is for electronics (the recordings) and strings (primarily in response to the recordings), commissioned by Mivos Quartet, and they'll perform the work in a unique and immersive concert presented by ArtPower UCSD.
