Neil Rolnick composes some of the most sheerly listenable and enjoyable, even tuneful — and relatable and human — electronic and electroacoustic music you've ever heard. Maybe it's because his pieces are almost always about something. As, in the lead pieces tonight, the recent death of Rolnick's wife and the peace she found before dying (a subject of immense interest to Your Self-Pitying Compiler) — with additional interest supplied for all you non-self-pitiers by the participation of the fabulous pianist Kathleen Supové and dancers Julia Bengtsson and Mauricio Vera (as well as Rolnick's late wife herself, captured on voicemail messages). Other pieces on the program feature video projections with the electronics, singers with the electronics, various instrumentalists with the electronics, and Rolnick playing piano along with the electronics. I urge you to attend.
