The Los Angeles music collective Wild Up is creating a series of performances and a multi-volume anthology to carry his music forward, starting with Femenine. The minimalist Femenine debuted in 1974, two years before Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians and Philip Glass’s Einstein on the Beach had their first performances; yet Eastman was punished for being ahead of his time, in the rejection of both his music and his person. “Wild Up’s new rendition takes a page from Eastman’s personal playbook: It’s exuberant, a bit in your face, sometimes capricious, and always surprising.” (NPR Music)

You Against Nature + Your People Saying Hello
by Joseph White, ThingNY, + Aaron Siegel

579 Metropolitan Avenue
Brooklyn NY
sliding scale $15-25 (buy tickets)
Joseph White‘s opera, You Against Nature, ingeniously brought to life by ThingNY, is a potpourri of song, text, visual candy, and sonic froth based on 19th century decadent novel, “Against Nature.” Your People Saying Hello is the solo project of composer/percussionist Aaron Siegel. Equal parts storytelling, poetry reading and sonic ritual, Your People performances feature synths, spoken texts, songs, and percussion.
You Against Nature:
Joseph White – Composer
Gelsey Bell – Vocals, Keyboard
Andrew Livingston – Cello
Paul Pinto – Vocals, Percussion
Erin Rogers – Saxophones
Dave Ruder – Laptop, Narration
Your People Saying Hello:
Aaron Siegel – Composer, Percussion, Voice, Synthesizers
You Against Nature is a new opera by Joseph White, commissioned by ThingNY. Blending elements of monologue, Webernian pointillism, karaoke, and electronic klangfarbenmelodie, You Against Nature offers a maximalist sound world with a lean, stripped-down ensemble of merrymakers. Based on Joris-Karl Huysmans‘ remarkable, and remarkably-decadent 19th century novel, “”Against Nature,”” You Against Nature explores timely themes of isolation, decadence, hedonism, and the limits of self-sufficiency.
