Seth & Gene’s Excellent Electroacoustic Adventure - Mini Tour USA Composers Concordance proudly presents the world premiere of the mini-tour Seth & Gene’s Excellent Electroacoustic Adventure, an 80-minute electroacoustic multimedia experience featuring live music, spoken word, and continuous video projection at every performance. The tour launches in New York City and then travels to Chicago and San Diego. At the center of this adventure are two fearless sonic explorers: Seth Boustead on piano and Gene Pritsker on electric guitar and Di.J. (Digital Jockey). Together, they fuse composed music, improvisation, electronics, and performance art, joined by a rotating cast of guest musicians, poets, and video artists. Each stop on the tour features full-length video throughout the entire performance, created by an international array of video artists. The visuals are a core structural element of the work—shaping the pacing, atmosphere, and narrative of the music across all three cities. Poetry by writers associated with Composers Concordance is also integrated into every performance, creating a layered experience where sound, image, and language collide. Following its New York premiere at Westbeth, the adventure continues westward: Chicago: The tour lands at the newly opened The Check Out performance space, with an opening set by pianist Lesi Mei titled The Electroacoustic Piano, followed by the full multimedia presentation of Seth & Gene’s Excellent Electroacoustic Adventure. San Diego: The mini-tour concludes at the NWEAMO Festival at San Diego State University, once again presented with its complete audiovisual and poetic components.
