Musique d' Ombre is a live musique concrete creation by composers Jonny Farrow and Edmund Mooney in which the principles of Pierre Schaeffer's concept of Acousmatics, or sounds removed from their source, is explored. Schaeffer was bolstered in his concept-making by the understanding that the great Greek mathematician and teacher Pythagoras taught his new pupils from behind a screen for the 1st year of their instruction, in hopes of aiding their obviously confused minds. In this performance at Judson Church in NYC we went behind a screen for the 1st time, and quite enjoyed it, as I imagine Pythagoras did. You can do whatever you want back there! We will be taking Musique d' Ombre on the road this summer so watch out for information!
