Performance

BIOMES

1 upcoming performance in New York

BIOMES turns toward ecology as a cultural idea, mapping distinct environments as if they were musical regions with their own rules. The title nods to Brazil’s widely recognized range of terrestrial and marine zones, but the piece treats classification less as science than as a way people narrate place. Heard live at Roulette in New York City with Katherine Young, the work sits in a local tradition of contemporary classical performance that tests how sound can carry landscape. Its quiet provocation is that “nature” arrives here through human systems of naming.
