Noisefloor is a unique collaboration between Palaver Strings and the contemporary dance company little house dance, presented by Portland Ovations and State Theatre. In this interdisciplinary performance, twelve musicians and seven dancers join forces, premiering a new composition by Courtney Swain written specifically for choreography by Heather Stewart. This project seamlessly integrates the media of music and dance, involving dancers in the composition process and including musicians in little house’s movement language. Noisefloor plays with the subjectivity of human experience, including visual and auditory perception and the logic of dreams. Musicians and dancers will move throughout the stage and surrounding areas, expanding the audience’s audiovisual field and guiding their attention through the use of mobile light sources attached to their bodies. Noisefloor is an immersive physical, visual, and musical experience.

Hailed as a “boldly surreal aural experience” (The New York Times), Holographic is about exploring different worlds—improbable combinations of sound, hidden and imaginary sonic landscapes and projections by Los Angeles-based artist Daniel Schwarz. Composer Daniel Wohl says, “By processing or re-sampling more traditional instruments like strings, percussion, or the human voice, I wanted to create music that has a strong link to the past while at the same time being rooted in what we listen to on a daily basis. I wanted to retain the warmth and inconsistencies of human playing while interfacing with the technologies that are available to all of us.”
