Space, Ice, and Fire
Mining the Music from Data
Glenn McClure, composer
Katherine Skovira, mezzo-soprano
Jean-David Coen, piano

Willamette University, Salem, OR

Composer Glenn McClure will share his work with scientists at the European Space Agency, the National Science Foundation in Antarctica, and Hawaii Volcanos National Park in giving a musical voice to the planet. His approach to sonification offers both an artistic vehicle for eco-musicians and a potent new tool for big data analysis. McClure will also explore the emerging roles for musicians who wish to join the dialogue on Climate Change. The presentation will culminate in the world premiere of Listening for Pele performed by Katherine Skovira, mezzo-soprano, and Jean-David Coen, piano, and based upon data from the Kilauea Volcano of Hawaii.
