On February 13th, Great Noise Ensemble presents a concert highlighting the form, function and intersection of man and machine through works of Mallamud, Mellits Goins and Sparr. David Mallamud’s song cycle Spectorian Domination draws on James Bond, surf music, and the telenovela to present several different stories, with a couple of new songs written specifically for this performance. D.J. Sparr’s Carnal Node tells the story of a friend’s search for love through the internet, as told through emails to the composer. Blair Goin’s Concerto for Soprano Sax, String Quintet and Percussion combines both jazz and classical influences to showcase the spectacular playing of saxophonist Steven Leffue, and GNE reprises its acclaimed Fringe Festival performance of Marc Mellit’s Five Machines.

Tickets available at the door: $20 General, $10 Students and Seniors, and Free for Catholic University students, faculty and staff with valid CUA I.D.
