ABOUT MUSIX & the MIPS Program at SOU

Students in MUSIX are performers, producers, composers, lyricists, and audio engineers. All of the music you will hear tonight is original. Over the course of every term, MUSIX members pair up, or consolidate into sub-groups to create music in a variety of ways. Some who read music will partner with those who intuit music, and vice-versa. The music is sometimes created through an improvisational, or 鈥渂y rote鈥� fashion. Other times it is completely conceived, written out and prepared by a single individual for further development and rehearsal by a band. The MIP Lab is equipped with session mixers that allow up to 5 players to plug in and monitor themselves while rehearsing. Dr. Terry Longshore, head of percussion at SOU, has mentioned gleefully that it is bit like "blissful chaos" when observing the lab full of songwriters, and two bands rehearsing at the same time in two different keys, tempos, and singers - the session mixers allow for near totally isolation through the players' headphones! All of MUSIX's compositional approaches, this music is aimed towards preparing an evening-length concert or to produce audio recordings worthy of release to the masses. Tonight's concert will feature music from our catalog and several new songs owing to our growing collective of students.

In a world where the line between the living and the dead blurs...

This fall, prepare yourself for a Rainbow Girls show like no other. As the lights dim, and the fog rolls in, you'll step into a realm where shadows dance, and whispers echo through the night. Welcome to the 鈥淗aunting鈥� album release tour鈥攁 spine-tingling journey into the unknown. Feel the chill as each note reverberates through the darkness, see the spectral visions come to life on stage, and as the music swells, you'll find yourself drawn deeper into the abyss. But beware鈥攐nce you enter, you may never leave. This isn't just a show鈥� it鈥檚 a journey into the unknown, where every song beckons you deeper into the shadows.

On Friday, November 8 from 6-8pm, percussionist Terry Longshore will premiere his new work for gong orchestra, Full Circle: Turtle Wisdom at the ScienceWorks Museum in Ashland. Tickets are $10 and available online at https://scienceworksmuseum.org/ and will also be available for purchase at the door the evening of the event.

ScienceWorks Members and all SOU Faculty, staff, and students can get complimentary tickets by emailing: info@scienceworksmuseum.org and you will get a coupon code to receive your free ticket.

The new work will be performed at two times during the evening - 6:30pm and 7:30pm by the SOU Percussion Ensemble and students of Longshore's Honors Course - "Making 老夫子传媒".

The inspiration for the work is Betty LaDuke's Turtle Wisdom - a series of works that features more than 20 colorful turtles as part of the musical score. LaDuke's artworks will also be on display.

ABOUT THE MUSIC AND ART:

Full Circle: Turtle Wisdom by Oregon composer and percussionist Terry Longshore draws its inspiration from his 2021 hour-long composition for large solo gong, This Moment In Time, and renowned artist Betty LaDuke鈥檚 series, Turtle Wisdom. It is performed by a gong orchestra, in which at least six and up to an unlimited number of members, each with their own gong, interpret one of Betty LaDuke鈥檚 Turtle Wisdom series of artworks, guided by a text- and time-based score composed by Longshore.

LaDuke鈥檚 Turtles explore themes of personal, political, and playful nature. Emerging from the pandemic in 2021, LaDuke states that 鈥淭URTLES became my symbolic storytellers, commenting on the events currently reshaping our lives.鈥�

The performers utilize a plethora of implements and techniques to produce a seemingly endless array of sounds from their instruments. Spatialized throughout the performance space, the audience is encircled by sounds of nature, by the gongs鈥� captivating voices, and by LaDuke鈥檚 dynamic artworks. The composition is composed in a way that allows anyone to participate, regardless of musical or percussive experience. A pre-performance workshop provides participants with instruction on performance practice and score interpretation.

The compositional structure of Full Circle: Turtle Wisdom is inspired by the lunar calendar and numerous Indigenous peoples鈥� belief that turtles' shells symbolize the 13 lunar cycles. The central area of the upper shell (carapace) displays 13 larger scutes, each representing a lunar month. Additionally, the encircling smaller scutes total 28, corresponding to the days in a lunar cycle. The numbers 13 and 28 are used in rhythmic sections of the composition, alternating with more lyrical and textural sections highlighted by the playing techniques.
