When the CEE visited CMU for a residency in February 2020, they found kindred spirits in the students of the Exploded Ensemble and its directors. The two ensembles enthusiastically explored timbral, textural, temporal, and structural possibilities—as equals in love for electronics, experimentation, and improvisation as well as in respect for each other as musicians and creators. The CEE and Exploded will revisit and expand on this previous collaboration, one that demonstrates the technical, aesthetic, and social connections that can exist through long distance, telematic coordination. This online medium also allows for listeners across the globe to celebrate the CEE and to immerse themselves in this joint sonic experience. This concert is part of a larger CEE 50 celebration hosted by Carnegie Mellon University. Join us for the CEE 50 Hybrid Symposium on Saturday, October 8, 2022. Symposium details can be found here.

Lauren Sarah Hayes with Freida Abtan

Thursday, October 13 at 7:30pm, come to the IDeATe Media Lab (HL A10A) for an evening of electronic music improvisation by Lauren Sarah Hayes with CMU's own Freida Abtan.
Lauren Sarah Hayes is a Scottish improviser and sound artist. Her music is a mix of experimental pop/live electronics/techno/noise/free improvisation and has been described as ‘voracious’ and ‘exhilarating’. She is a sculptress of sound, manipulating, remixing, and bending voice, drum machines, analogue synths and self-built software live and physically. She is excited by what can happen in the vulnerable relationships between sound, space, and audience.
Deemed an "audiovisual sorceress", Freida Abtan is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist and musician inspired by sensory immersion. Her music ranges from acousmatic composition to more industrial and pop-influenced experimental anthems. Both as a solo artist, and as a floating member of the renowned experimental music group Nurse with Wound, she has toured her music and visuals internationally.
This event is free and open to the public.
