Engine27 is in NY, by the way. It's always extremely helpful to actually
tell people where an event is (other than on planet Earth) when you post
an announcement about it. :)

San Francisco-based composer Cheryl Leonard's piece is a work for
upside-down string quartet (two cellos, viola, and violin) and arboreal
materials. Instruments in Trees is a semi-composed/semi-improvisational
work in which the performers will play their primary instruments as well
as
materials from trees. Leaves, needles, pinecones, bark, sticks, twigs,
and
lichen, will all be fair game, and the composition process will involve
the
creation/assemblage of "instruments" from these raw materials. All sound
sources will be amplified, allowing spatialization and very quiet
phenomena
to be vital aspects of the piece. The work investigates cycles and
processes
inherent to trees by examining and juxtaposing diverse scales of time
and
size, and exploring the subtle intricacies of sounds not usually
considered
musical.=20

Engine 27 is a non-profit devoted to the creation and presentation of
sound
art and multi-channel music of diverse forms. We focus our energies on
creating an infinitely flexible facility with variable acoustics and the
development of resources essential to carrying out our mission.=A0 We
are
cultivating long-term associations with sound artists, musicians and
composers interested in exploring the possibilities of multi-speaker
sound.
In the words of Jack Weisberg, Engine 27 was established "to achieve
experiences that our ears could previously only dream about."=A0
