The installation acts as a timepiece for Walt Disney Concert Hall as Rand Steiger’s commissioned music changes over the course of the day, alternating between computer generated musical atmospheres and compositions built from material recorded by soloists from the Los Angeles Philharmonic. These pieces, spatially distributed over 32 speakers, alternate with periods of silence interrupted by brief related sounds triggered by motion sensors.

NOVEMBER 2016 SONGBOOK Saturday, November 5, 2016, at 8 PM Walt Disney Concert Hall An Evening with Joan Baez LA Phil’s Songbook series offers an intimate evening with legendary folk singer Joan Baez. A musical force of nature of incalculable influence, Baez marched on the front line of the civil rights movement with Martin Luther King, Jr., inspired Václav Havel in his fight for a Czech Republic, then 40 years later saluted the Dixie Chicks for protesting the Iraq war. Her earliest recordings fed traditional ballads into the rock vernacular before she introduced Bob Dylan to the world in 1963.
