NINE REVOLUTIONS
An electroacoustic work for a multimedia performance space
Nine Revolutions is a multimedia work for live string quartet, prerecorded orchestral sound, optional chamber orchestra, and optional video. Composed during Bermel’s residency with the Seattle Symphony, Nine Revolutions was designed for the immersive Octave 9 space at Benaroya Hall, which incorporates a 360-degree Meyer surround sound system and 13 digital screens.
“I started again from scratch and thought about this immersion concept, immersing the audience in the concert. So, in doing that, one of the ideas that excited me was bringing the orchestra into that space.”
