Fascinated by two narratives generated by every disaster--one based on science, encompassing temperature, wind and pressure gradients, and one based on human experience--Miebach translates information from these storms into graphic music scores, large-scale woven installations, and sculptures. As part of the artist’s Weather Score Project, The Water Line Concert will feature two new compositions, inspired by Hurricane Harvey, by Houston composers Shane Monds and Kyle Rivera, as well as existing compositions by Matthew Jackfert and Harrison Ponce, based on other hurricanes. Miebach will be present to speak about her work in the exhibition and her collaborations with various composers. Since 2009, Miebach has collaborated with composers and musicians in her Weather Score Project to translate her graphic scores, based on weather data, into musical compositions, so that her works also can be experienced through sound.

    Solos and Encounters I. Solo 1: Sheng II. Solo 2: Contrabass III. Mediation 1: Electronics IV. Encounter 1: Sheng, Contrabass V. Encounter 2: Contrabass, Electronics VI. Encounter 3: Sheng, Electronics VII. Final Encounter: Tutti Solos and Encounters is a work for the Chinese sheng, western contrabass, and electronics. The piece begins with the two soloists, separated in space and aesthetic. The electronics, which serve as a mediating force between the two acoustic instrumentalists, captures traces and resonances which are reflected back to the soloists. Over time, influenced by the atmosphere provided by the electronics and through a series of physical encounters, the two instrumentalists intertwine and affect one another. What emerges is a new language, shaped and informed by respect of one another’s differences. Born in Taiwan, Shih-Hui Chen has lived in the United States since 1982 and received her doctorate from Boston University. In addition to garnering a Koussevitzky Music Foundation Commission, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and an American Academy in Rome Prize, her compositions have been performed widely throughout the U.S. and abroad, including China, Japan, England, Germany, and Italy. Chen currently serves on Asia Society Texas Center’s Performing Arts & Culture Committee. She is a Professor at the Shepherd School of Music, Rice University. Recent projects include: Withholding the Umbrella for the Chinese Orchestra; Ten Thousand Blooms, Falling Petals for the Pacific Rim Music Festival; and Messages From a Paiwan Village, a 75-minute storytelling musical drama. Her recent recording Returning Souls was hailed by Wire Magazine for its “deep musical intelligence.” Creative works by Kurt Stallmann focus on breaking boundaries between environmental sound and music, and connecting the divide between improvisation and composition.

Arthur Gottschalk Heavy Metal was commissioned by the Chara/is Brass Quintet to premiere on a New Music America program hosted by Pauline Oliveros. The work is dedicated to Larry Livingston, a formative dean of the Shep­ herd School of Music at Rice University and, until recently, the dean of the Thornton School ofMusic at the University ofSouthern California. The ac­ companying sounds are from recordings of the brass quintet and "antique" analog electronics, and were realized at Sugar Hill Recording Studios and Rice University's Electroacoustic Music laboratories (REM LABS). - Note by the composer Duo . Robert Yekovich A request from two friends ofmine to write a piece brought about the unusual combination ofclarinet, double bass and tape (electronic sounds). The tape part is distinctly electronic and for the most part has its own individual voice in Duo. At times, however, the tape part is blended with the instruments to create "hy­ brid" colors that sound neither purely instrumental nor purely electronic.
