Last February 2009, Centerpieces concerts series orginised by Dr Andrew May, featured works created at the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia and the NOVARS Research Centre, utilising new technologies and intermedia. Among other works, audiences at the Merril Ellis Intermedia Theater, listened to new works by Joseph Butch Rovan , Tsen-Ling Lin, Ricardo Climent.
'Sir George', created in Studio 1 by NOVARS's composer Ricardo Climent, in 2008, is a Fixed media composition which serves as a point of encounter between legendary British pop-rock sound and transitorized contemporary computer music synthesis of today. It takes the best of the flavour of tube-operated mixing consoles combined with classic outboard gear and four-track one-inch recorders and confronts it with a glitchy hi-tech computerized sonic scenario. Although one may argue that Sir George (which referes to Sir George Martin, also known as the fifth Beatle), is place for dreams and nostalgia, it is more my sonic exploration of a loss.
Housed within the Composition Division, the Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia (CEMI) provides a unique environment for exploration of the time-based arts. An interdisciplinary center within UNT's Division of Composition Studies, CEMI is internationally renowned for its long history of innovation, particularly in the realm of electroacoustic music. Students, guests, and collaborators from a variety of disciplines engage in research, creation, and performance in CEMI's six production studios and the Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theater. This concert in the Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theater is made possible by the dedication and expertise of the CEMI Teaching Assistants: Nick Bober, Greg Dixon, Stephen Lucas, L. Scott Price, Ilya Rostovtsev. Andrew May, director
