BAT // MAN by Steve Parker (world premiere)

  • Statesman Bat Observation Center 305 South Congress Avenue Austin, TX, 78704 United States (map)

Brent directs the closing concert for Fusebox Festival in a world-premiere performance of Steve Parker’s BAT // MAN. Featuring a field full of 100 musicians from the UTSA trombone studio, percussionist Cullen Faulk (of Line Upon Line), singers from Texas Choral Consort, and Parker on electronics, the composer describes his work as “a piece for bat echolocation under the Congress Avenue Bridge. The bat calls are going to be pitch-shifted in real time so people can hear them, and then they'll be looped and manipulated in various ways.”
