James McVinnie’s Power Switch

Walt Disney Concert Hall

Organist James McVinnie explores the convergence of vintage technology and acoustic resonance. In his hands, the pipe organ—classical music’s original synthesizer—meets electronics both analog and digital. Composer Sara Davachi joins on synth to call the immersive drones of her new work into the world, while Claire M Singer takes to the organ to roll out luminous tones. Plus performances of Tristan Perich’s complex sonic tapestries, Laurie Spiegel’s algorithmic meditations, and Squarepusher’s breakbeat maximalism. This is the sound of circuits breathing.
