The Paul Dresher Ensemble Production of

The mysteriously-packed subterranean workshop of the (possibly mad, possibly genius) inventor, sound collector and audio philosopher Lazlo Klangfarben. His invention: the Schick Machine – an uber-algorhytm, a logic instrument made from a giant motorized hurdy gurdy that produces heavenly sounds, a deconstructed pipe organ played with electrical mallets, and indescribable metal machines that seem to be alive. You ask: “What IS this stuff?
Paul Dresher returns to Lively Arts with the World Premiere of an evening-length solo musical theater work for virtuoso percussionist Steven Schick. Noted for his ability to integrate diverse musical influences into a unique and communicative personal style, Dresher has invented and built large-scale musical instruments that will transform the stage of Dinkelspiel Auditorium into an environment in which every object and surface is sonically active. The composition synthesizes the latest percussion sounds, performance aesthetics, and instruments into a new realm of choreographic, sculptural, and theatrical engagement.
