D U C K R U B B E R: Dislodgements

In 2015, cellist Tyler Borden collaborated with Paul Hembree and James Bean, each a composer and computer musician, to perform Brian Ferneyhough’s Time and Motion Study II for vocalizing cellist and live electronics. Out of this, D U C K R U B B E R was born — a collaborative effort driven by Bean, Borden, and Hembree to explore challenging works of electroacoustic music. In an attempt to probe the interstices between performer, composer, and technologist, the trio explores the extremes of instrumental practice while integrating them with creative applications of music technology. Weaving through throbbing sub-audio pulsations, cascading layers of glitched audiovisuals, and outrageously virtuosic instrumental techniques, the trio never fails to bring audiences an arresting, unforgettable concert experience.
