Description:
Part of NUNC! 6: the Northwestern University New-Music Conference
Amsterdam-based composer, vocalist, and producer Bec Plexus discusses her work. Plexus has been described as “a soldier at the frontier of music” (Floris Kortie, Grachtenfestival), with compositions embraced by fans of alternative pop and complex art music alike. Plexus founded Jerboah (a rock band with recorders and EWI bass), co-created the Facechord Factory (an installation that transforms face scans into chords), and co-founded the genre-bending concert and video series EARsessions. She has written more than 60 works for over 200 performances, and her collaborations have included visual artists, filmmakers, and poets.
