Alvin Lucier (1931-2021) was an American composer of experimental music and sound installations. He pioneered many areas of music composition and performance, including the notation of performers' physical gestures, the use of brain waves in live performance, the generation of visual imagery by sound in vibrating media, and the evocation of room acoustics for musical purposes. His works include a series of sound installations and works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, and orchestra in which, by means of close tunings with pure tones, sound waves are caused to spin through space.

This performance will take place in four locations around the Earl V. Moore Building, be prepared to walk between venues
