Department of Music

The UVA Department of Music and The Bridge PAI present the second streaming Telemetry event of 2021 featuring performances from Popebama, Matthew Burtner with Time Lapse Dance and Jody Sperling, Becky Brown, Will Mullany

Music begins at 7:30pm streaming from https://www.twitch.tv/thebridgepai

About the performers:

Popebama presents the video premiere of Ryan Carraher's ...and try to become the Light? an ever-contorting, other-worldly journey of body, mind and reality, followed by Chin Ting Chan's Fuse I, an exploration of hollow sounds, electronic triggers and ensemble interplay. Popebama will also perform co-composed work by the performers, Erin Rogers and Dennis Sullivan.

Popebama is a New York-based experimental duo that focuses on exciting performances of unconventional works. Described as “Noisily Virtuosic” (clevelandclassical.com), Erin Rogers (saxophone) and Dennis Sullivan (percussion) are composer-performers who apply text, electronics, and high-energy instrumental writing to freshly-squeezed sounds, bringing visual wonderment and theatrical flare to an experimental sound world. https://popebama.com/

"Plastic Harvest" - Matthew Burtner w Time Lapse Dance and Jody Sperling 

Plastic is everywhere, something we all share—willingly or not we all wear it, eat it, bathe in it, even breathe it. Watch as the Time Lapse Dance performers maneuver boldly through our plastic world.
