LEAF2023: Morton Subotnick and Lillevan at Lafayette Electronic Arts Festival:

April 30, 2023

Show 7pm; all ages; this is a ticketed event. On Sunday, April 30, the Lafayette Electronic Arts Festival, Media Manifesta, and KGNU’s Electronic Air are honored to present pioneering experimental electronic music composer Morton Subotnick, and Berlin-based visual artist Lillevan, performing live in immersive quadraphonic sound. Having worked together for the last twelve years, the technique and process of Subotnick and Lillevan has culminated in the work, “As I Live and Breathe”. Subotnick has stated that he feels this work will be “the ultimate fulfillment of his public performance; one of the last, if not the last, of his public performance works”, as he turns 90 years old this year. The work is centered around Subotnick’s breath, which becomes ever more musically and visually ornamented by Lillevan, only to end with a single, exhaled breath. The work is meant as a musical metaphor for the composer’s life in music. ******Address to this event: The Arts Hub, 420 Courtney Way, Lafayette, CO 80026
