Each piece on the program utilizes various types of music technology, including real-time computer-based processing, live loop creation and manipulation, sequencing and computer-generated soundtrack. As a player and presenter, Reynolds is at the forefront of contemporary performance. “One of the best-known participants in New York’s downtown music scene” (Time Out New York), he consistently redefines the cutting edge. He is regularly featured at major New York venues such as Lincoln Center, BAM, and The Kitchen. He is a member of the red-hot string quartet Ethel, a frequent guest of the Bang on a Can All-Stars, and violinist and assistant conductor for Steve Reich and Musicians. For the past two seasons Mr. Reynolds has been exploring uncharted territory with his innovative experimental music-theater series, Still Life With Microphone, a unique multi-disciplinary presentation of contemporary music seen through the eyes of a mischievous conducting clown. Nuove Uova continues Reynolds’ re-imagining of the traditional concert format found in the Still Life series, directing his attention to the solo violin recital. Set in the relaxed, small-club atmosphere of Joe’s Pub, the audience is offered creative and adventurous electronic music in a casual environment. In addition, several of the composers have joined Reynolds in rethinking the conventional by writing pieces outside their primarily acoustic aesthetic. Reynolds’ unique expertise and experience with music technology inspired them to explore the possibilities inherent in mixing the violin with electronics. Along with pieces for solo violin, Nuove Uova features guest performances by two members of the Bang on a Can All-Stars. Percussionist David Cossin will join Todd for boombox maestro Phil Kline’s new additions to the loop-infused Reynolds Etudes. Composer/clarinetist Evan Ziporyn takes the stage to premiere his new work for violin, clarinet and sampler, written for the Joe’s Pub concert.
