Flutist to discuss, then demonstrate, specialty in new music
A new work by music professor Brent Lee will be on the program for a recital by guest artist in residence Chenoa Anderson, tomorrow evening.
A flutist, Anderson specializes in new music, especially music for flute and live electronics. Her performance, Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in Studio A, Lambton Tower, will feature five such pieces commissioned by Anderson from Canadian composers.
Dr. Lee's piece, entitled Turbulent Flow, is based on the sonification of data recorded in wind turbulence experiments undertaken by UWindsor engineering professor David Ting and his students a few years ago.

"The numbers recorded in the wind tunnel measurements are translated into pitch, rhythm, and timbre," says Lee.
The Edmonton-based Anderson has performed as a soloist and chamber musician across Canada, as well as in Germany and Holland. Her first solo recording, Big Flutes: Canadian Music for Alto and Bass Flutes was nominated for a 2006 Western Canadian Music Award.
She will also discuss her work in a lecture as part of the Take 4 series, today at 4 p.m. in the Recital Hall, room 139, Music Building. Both the lecture and tomorrow's recital are free and open to the public. |
