Featured video: ""Boris Bobby" by Jimmy Ghaphery [HD 1080p]" by H. Paul Moon



At Vimeo, the caption says: NOTES FROM THE PROGRAM: "Boris Bobby" is the premiere of a new composition by Jimmy Ghaphery for 21 electroacoustic improvisors. Based on the 1972 World Chess Championship between Boris Spassky and Bobby Fischer, the score revolves around the end of game chessboards from each of the 21 games. Strategy, restraint, concentration, and tension are promised, with a nod toward unsustainable Cold War ideology. Performed at the Atlas Performing Arts Center in Washington, D.C. as part of the Sonic Circuits Festival of Experimental Music, September 29, 2012. Special thanks to Jeff Surak (curator and festival director).
