THE HURD ENSEMBLE
September 9, 2012 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$10 – $20Graceful Machines: Classical Meets Electronic
Performing original music by San Francisco-based composer George Hurd, The Hurd Ensemble unifies the worlds of Electronic and Classical music. All the music is written for string quartet (violin, viola, cello, upright bass), piano and electronics, meticulously bound together with digitally-arranged sounds collected from Hurd’s travels. Absolutely no stock electronic sounds are used – every sound produced is of his own creation, recorded, edited and manipulated himself. The electronics are layered to create textures that perfectly complement the acoustic instruments, giving rise to a sound that is extremely organic despite its partially digital origins. Hurd’s music is both wildly, intricately rhythmic and aglow with shimmering harmonies and melodies.
