PATTERNS and INTERIORS

  • Kopleff Recital Hall 15 Gilmer Street Southeast Atlanta, GA, 30303 United States (map)

Featuring music by Sarah Hennies, Marc Mellits, and an improvisation-based work by Marc Fleury and Stuart Gerber (aka Church of Space).

In music patterns are created through repetitive sequences, harmonies, and rhythms, providing a structure that guides the listener through a given sonic landscape. These patterns, whether subtle or pronounced, create a sense of familiarity and organization within a specific piece. Simultaneously, within the music there are hidden dimensions and textures that lie within the sounds created. This interior world shares a profound similarity with the vastness and nature of the universe. Both encapsulate a depth and complexity that extends well beyond immediate perception. Within the intricate tapestry of sound and the vastness of the universe, there exists a spectrum of frequencies, harmonies, and resonances. As sound waves travel through a space, echoing and reverberating, they create an immersive experience and act in a way that mirrors the formations of galaxies, stars, and cosmic events of an ever-expanding universe. Both the space “within” sound and the vastness of the universe invite exploration and contemplation, where the interplay of resonances and vibrations reveals the interconnected beauty of existence.

This program is supported by the Georgia State University College of the Arts, the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and the Fulton County Board of Commissioners.
