Where: HSSB Ballet Studio, UCSB.

Categories: Performance art
Description: Amy X Neuburg is best known for her wildly entertaining "avant-cabaret" performances for voice and live electronics, in which she uses an electronic drumset, a real-time looping machine, and an array of sounds and samples to construct complex, emotionally intense songs and stories. In live performance she uses the looper to build up thick vocal harmonies and rhythms one layer at a time, and controls all loops and samples by hitting drum pads, stomping on foot pedals, and grabbing faders; there are no canned or pre-recorded tracks.
At 11am at the HSSB Ballet studio, Neuburg performs and discusses her work, including experiences collaborating with choreographers -hosted by the Department of Drama and Dance/ faculty Christopher Pilafian and Nancy Colahan.
At 1:30pm at the CCS Old Little Theater, Neuberg holds a question/answer session on the subject of composing music for voice and live electronic performance techniques -hosted by the College of Creative Studies/ faculty Leslie Hogan.
