She also has made works for sculpture installations and written scores for ensembles, chamber orchestra and mixed choirs.

Seth Cluett (b. 1976, Troy, NY) is a composer and visual artist whose work includes photography, drawing, video, sound installation, concert music, performance, and theoretical writing. His pieces are an exploration of the role of sound in everyday life. Operating at the boundary between the auditory and other senses, his work engages sound's ability to be both collectively shared and distinctly personal. Many of his pieces investigate the acoustic signature of specific locations, where sound is experienced as an activity (audio tourism), architectural property, or as geological process.

Composer Marina Rosenfeld is joined by Raz Mesinai (computer) in a presentation of new works for her "phonographic" speaker: a horn-shaped loudspeaker that spins at 33 1/3 r.p.m., sweeping the room with arcs and circles of electronic and acoustic sound. Rosenfeld will premiere several new pieces for voice, turntables, computer processing and trumpet (with special guest Ari Fenton, trumpet). Rosenfeld is a noted composer, improviser and artist whose works have been commissioned in recent years by the Whitney Biennial 2008 and 2002; Creative Time; Tate Modern; The Kitchen; Artists Space; Contemporary Jewish Museum; Electronic Music Foundation and many others.

Combining her interests in graphic notation, unconventional instrumental techniques, live musical performance and video, Marina Rosenfeld's new project will generate a composition from an animated video projection-as-score. Rosenfeld's previous work has included large-scale, multi-player performance works she calls orchestras--'the emotional orchestra', 'the sheer frost orchestra'-- and video projections fabricated from original silent Super-8 footage. The new work will bring together elements from both these previous bodies of work, proposing yet another possible strategy for linking the visual and aural experience, for both audience and player.
