Chess at Ultima

Chess at Ultima

Friday September 7 2012, I am involved in the performance of a new piece for two chess players and eight musicians during the Ultima Festival. The developments in the chess game controls the course of the music. The piece is based on the work Reunion by John Cage, which was first performed in 1968 by John Cage, David Tudor, Marcel Duchamp, Teeny Duchamp, Gordon Mumma, David Behrman, and Lowell Cross.
