[MM] Stanford Lively Arts presents: Dave Douglas, composer & Bill Morrison, filmmaker, with Dave Douglas' Keystone - Spark of Being (World Premiere) at Memorial Auditorium, Stanford University
(in Stanford, Santa Clara County, State of California, USA, Earth)
TIME(S): 8pm / 20:00 .
DATE(S): Saturday, April 24, 2010 .
DESCRIPTION:
Two master innovators—jazz trumpeter/composer Dave Douglas and experimental filmmaker Bill Morrison—draw on the unique resources of Stanford University to create Spark of Being, a monumental work combining the screening of film with live musical performance (by Douglas’ electric band Keystone).
The new work, commissioned by Lively Arts and making its world premiere in this performance, incorporates archival visual elements and newly developed sound components culled by Morrison and Douglas from the archives of the Cantor Center for the Arts, the Hoover Institution, CCRMA, and other sources on the Stanford campus. A centerpiece of the multi-faceted “Art + Invention” theme inspiring the programming of Lively Arts, the Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts (SiCa), and other campus organizations throughout 2009–10, Spark of Being also represents the culmination of a multi-stage “Creative Campus” residency at Stanford by Douglas and Morrison (see funder credits below).

As part of this season’s campus-wide “Art+Invention” programming initiative, Stanford Lively Arts, the Aurora Forum, and the Stanford Institute for Creativity & the Arts (SiCa) will present a new “Art + Invention Speaker Series” hosted by Aurora Forum founding director Mark Gonnerman.

Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most renowned—and daring—creative pioneers. Recognized worldwide as a leader in the use of technology in the arts, Anderson is known widely for her multimedia presentations, casting herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist, and instrumentalist. In her new work, Delusion, which will debut at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games and be presented by Stanford Lively Arts on May 5, Anderson explores sound and stories in a series of short plays. Using her inventions in vocal processing, signature violin pieces and lush sonic landscapes Anderson creates and inhabits imaginary worlds that become mental movies. Conceived as a ninety-minute technodrama, the new work combines technology, mystery and contemporary short stories in a unique new art form.
