William Fastenow’s, Ph.D. ’25 capstone recital, “Art of the Unheard,” had the audience walk on elevated paths with pairs of speakers above and below them, streaming instrumental sounds, with no two guests hearing the same thing. As a graduate of the Integrated Composition, Improvisation and Technology program, he combined music performance with insights gained from a neurobiology course about the science of human hearing. To put theory into practice, Fastenow needed a space completely unlike a traditional theater. He turned to the Experimental Media Performance Lab, a 4,000-square-foot, hi-tech, black box-style theater housed in the Contemporary Arts Center at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts. |
