Breaking Counterpoint is an evening-length, interdisciplinary work that moves from composition to transformation, opening with Michael Laurello’s Tell Hope Everything You Hear and expanding through a live set by producer Wendel Patrick. The program culminates in a reimagining of Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint—integrating electric guitar, live processing, movement, and projection into an immersive, ever-changing sonic and visual environment developed with dancers and media artists.
Event Details
Counterpoint is thrilled to present two evenings of music and dance for our season finale performance.
To cap a season bridging cultures, Counterpoint bridges disciplines. Michael Laurello’s innovative work for acoustic guitar and stereo playback and a live set by producer Wendel Patrick are followed by a reimagining of Steve Reich’s Electric Counterpoint through electric guitar, live processing, dance and projections.
