Sounding – Rebecca Novak ( TX ) 11/11/23

An evening of music.

8pm -10:30 10-15 suggested donation (cash only)

Rebecca Novak will be presenting new work for solo cornet and slide projector. Community Band will presenting a group improvisation to make some sort of sound.

Improviser and artist Rebecca Novak works with a shifting constellation of instruments and objects – cornet, piano, shortwave radio, glass vases – honing fine-grained textures and seemingly electronic- or mechanical-sounding noise, opening a multifaceted landscape of sound.

Interrogating the liminal spaces between sound, vision and language, my work often combines music with sculpture, live writing, or projected image to investigate the complex relationships between environment & self;  performance & being; body & object; the political & the philosophical. Called Annotations, these group-navigated improvisations refer both to a way of “annotating” or translating an experience or idea across practices, and an absence of traditional notation.
