Knockdown Center is pleased to present Future Host: A Speech Opera, a multichannel spatial sound and performance installation and collaboration of artists across disciplines from China and the United States, premiering January 20-22, 2017.<\/p>\n

Inspired by Stockhausen’s Gesang der J\u00fcnglinge and the post-socialist experience, Future Host features spatialized speech recordings and original music performed by a string quartet. Written in Chinese and performed by 19 voice actors, Future Host channels historical patterns of speaking and speech-making in the amorphous form of chorus. Along with live musical performance, fragmented words and unorthodox verbal expressions are digitally composed into an 8-channel polyphonic soundscape, where the ambulatory audience form their own individual, immersive acoustic experience beyond the limits of comprehensibility.<\/p>\n

Director: Tingying Ma
\nDramaturg\/Co-Producer: Kang Kang
\nProducer: Maya Yu Zhang
\nSpatial Sound Composition and Production: Kamron Saniee
\nLive music compositon: C. Spencer Yeh<\/p>\n
