Sound Series: Al Cerulo: Amplified Perception

Out of an abundance of caution, the Sound Series: Al Cerulo: Amplified Perception concert has been canceled. We are working to refund ticket(s) as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact us at 412.237.8300.

Al Cerulo has been praised for his work as a musician and educator both nationally and internationally and is an advocate for the commissioning and performing of new works by both established and up-and-coming composers to help move forward and breathe new life into the art. 

Amplified Perception is a seventy-five-minute soundscape sculpted through the music of five composers whose compositional styles are each uniquely beautiful: Jude Traxler, Eve Beglarian, Mathew Rosenblum, Paula Matthusen, and Randy Gibson. Writing for a single voice, each composer enhances the acoustic timbre of their instrument with live amplification and/or digital processing. Featuring sound design by Jude Traxler and a prelude and postlude of pre-recorded media by Cerulo and Echo Artifact, the journey will take the listener through various sound worlds–from the ambient to periodic to unearthly.
