Saturday 9/28: Boston Immersive Music Festival Presents Neil Leonard
The Outerspace Visual Communicator(OVC) returns to Boston with original music from Neal Leonard on Saturday, September 28th at 7:30 and 9:00
Boston Immersive Music Festival
The seven-weekend long Boston Immersive Music Festival brings together the best of experimental, jazz, classical, and traditional music that Boston has to offer with the immersive visuals of the OVC-3D.
Neil Leonard
Neil Leonard is a composer, saxophonist, and transdisciplinary artist. Leonard's work includes concerts for ensembles with live electronics, audio/visual installation, and multimedia performance. He maintains active collaborations in Canada, Cuba, China, Brazil, Burundi, Italy, Israel, Japan, Taiwan, and across the US. Leonard works with artists from film, video, installation, dance, and theater to create and perform music, often using immersive multichannel audio configurations.
His compositions were featured by Carnegie Hall, documenta (Germany), Musicacustica (China), the International Computer Music Convention (Canada), the Tel Aviv Biennial for New Music (Israel), Moscow Autumn (Russia), Museo Reina Sofia (Spain), the Jazz Plaza International Festival (Cuba), and in NYC at Roulette, Experimental Intermedia Foundation, Issue Project Room, and Knitting Factory.
The OVC-3D
The OVC returns to Boston! Bill Sebastian created the original OVC in the 1970s and performed on stage with Sun Ra at theaters in Boston and New York. The videos they made in the 1980s were recently featured in a retrospective at the Roulette Theater in Brooklyn and in Inside the Light World released by Strut Records. The OVC allowed an artist to create visual projections with the same total spontaneous control that a musician has over sound. Sebastian's OVC-3D extends that concept to immersive 3D worlds that can be entered using VR headsets. Bill will be performing live on the OVC-3D at every festival event, accompanying the musicians as they explore a wide range of musical styles. The audience will be able to view the art both through projections of the OVC and VR headsets. Learn more at visualmusicsystems.com.
