Tigue: This New Forest

About

This New Forest is an evening-length performance inspired by ecological speculations fusing nature and machine; translating authentic and imagined biological systems into a musical world that is rhythmic, immediate and physical. The evening combines two NYC premieres of works by Paula Matthusen and Elori Kramer with a recent batch of Tigue’s original music. Commissioned works explore the sculptural and mechanical nature of percussive objects as well as the effects of emerging technology on our understanding of the natural world, the individual, and perception. Original music by Tigue resumes in their unique musical language described as “simultaneously lighthearted and cerebral, casual and austere.” (Thrdcoast
