ExpandIn Coherence is an audiovisual collage representing the incredibly varied musical interests and talents of CCRMA’s 2024 MA/MST cohort. Each artist completed a minute-long audiovisual piece, given only the last six seconds of a previous artist’s work for inspiration. While each artist’s gesture may appear incoherent at first glance, this sequential juxtaposition places them “in coherent” conversation with each other, a celebration of creative and interdisciplinary audiovisual expression.
ExpandYesteryear is that timeless melody we can never replay in the present. The two sides of this cassette tape each hold a unique moment, a past and a present, each incomplete without the other. While the two sides can never be played together, we in our present moment can reminisce over yesteryear: a time gone by, the moments we've experienced, and those that have shaped our today. A rewinding of tape where past meets present, cherish this present moment, for it too will become a treasured yesteryear.

Sit back as we transform Strauss's masterpiece into a unique auditory journey, your SLOrker's guide to computer music.
