Morgan Evans-Weiler and Andrea Pensado Duo
Morgan Evans-Weiler is a Boston based musician, artist and educator who uses violin, electronics and other media to explore the dichotomy of stasis and activity. His current solo work involves a deconstructed violin and an array of natural overtones against a counterpoint of sine waves and subtle noise to create rich environments that convey both a motion and stillness in their perpetual variation.
He releases tapes by Boston artists on his Individual Lines label and produces shows at Washington St. Art in Somerville, MA. His current projects include the large Boston ensemble Deleuzer, duos with Jed Speare and Noell Dorsey (Katze), his solowork and the HMQ.
Andrea Pensado is a sound artist who works with sound as a performer and programer. She has been using digital media and live interactive musical systems since 1995. She studied in Argentina and Poland where she graduated in Composition with honors. However, her music started to gradually move from composition to improvisation.
Presently, Pensado plays solos or with other improvisers mainly across the United States. She collaborates frequently with Los Condenados (with Walter Wright and Jules Vasylenko), Bats From Pogo (with Walter Wright) and Crunch (with Walter Wright and Jack Wright). She has been featured in South America and Europe as well. She performs in all sorts of varied venues from regular concert halls to art galleries, clubs, lofts, basements, record stores and "house-shows".
Pensado uses Max as her main programming tool. The voice is constantly interwoven in the improvisations. The approach to programming and performance is highly intuitive. Occasionally, the combination of the performance situation, the often abrasive sounds, the irrational use of the voice and the inherent uncertainty of improvisations contributes to discoveries of unknown places in her mind.
