Jack Langdon & Andrew Maxbauer: music for miniature organ
Organist Jack Langdon will present an evening-length work by composer Andrew Maxbauer for miniature organ. The piece results from a close collaboration between Jack and Andrew and was written specifically for Jack’s miniature wooden organ, an instrument made by an unknown hobbyist organ builder.
A particularity of this organ is its air supply, a reconfigured vacuum motor set in reverse, which generates a continuous sound throughout the performance. Legibility becomes an elusive phenomenon shaped through experience and memory as articulation and repetition are absorbed and dissolved into this opaque sound field.
∆ Jack Langdon (jacklangdon.info) (b. 1994, Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians) is a musician, filmmaker, and writer, who grew up in Keyeser, Wisconsin and lives in Chicago, Illinois. As a musician, Jack performs on a variety of keyboard and string instruments as well as composes concert music. His films focus on landscape, the built environment, and people, and he writes on the political economy of cultural production. He is the editor of Empty Stage Journal & Records.
∆ Andrew Maxbauer (andrewmaxbauer.com) is a composer whose music often exists in an unresolved space between sound and soundlessness, involving instruments, sound recordings, and the acoustic presence of the listening space.
Andrew’s compositions have been presented internationally at festivals and concert series, including Kalvfestivalen, Saint Petersburg International New Music Festival, Frequency Series, and PRISM. He has collaborated with ensembles and performers such as Airborne Extended, Ensemble Dal Niente, Longleash, mdi ensemble, Mimitabu, Talea Ensemble, and Noah Jenkins, among others.
