Concert news: ISCM World Music Days 2020 New Zealand:  Congratulations to Lukas Ligeti for having his work "Labyrinth of Stars" selected for performance/presentation during the ISCM2020 World New Music Days in New Zealand from 21 – 30 April 2020.
He writes: "I perform on marimba lumina, a sophisticated MIDI controller designed by synthesizer pioneer Donald Buchla. In 2009, I composed Labyrinth of Clouds, a concerto for marimba lumina and orchestra, commissioned by the American Composers Orchestra. I then experimented with improvisations based on that work’s solo part; in 2014, that coalesced into a new piece. Labyrinth of Stars – The Far Southeast is a new, further development, featuring new sections and designed for a surround-sound system rather than stereo. Using a wide variety of samples plus synthesizers, it combines African xylophone techniques with live mixing, and white noise with complex microtonal melodies."
