JERICO ORCHESTRA / WIL MILES - Saturday 23rd February

For the DRON Festival, the Jerico Orchestra will collaborate with digital artist Andor Merks and his Composition Robotics. 

Using projected images as an interactive graphic score this first time meeting promises a trip into uncharted areas, as visuals by Pete Jones are fed into the digital mixer ... the collective mind of the orchestra in action, the projected score, and the response of the audience together create a unique work which must be experienced in its totality. This performance for DRON Festival also incorporates strategies for group improvisation devised by Michael Walter. Guest musicians include mezzo-soprano Sarah Wheeler.

Digital 3D graphics meet table scraping, analog improvisation with found objects, electronics, noises from the museum of musical savagery, sacred geometry, strings, horns and motors, bits of old radios, the brutality of fashionable London clashing head-on with Olivier Messiaen and Sun Ra. No powdered wigs, no chocolate box alpine landscapes.

Jerico Orchestra flautist Wil Miles plays a solo set inside the Dron.
