About EMPAC

The EMPAC Wave Field Synthesis Array is a 558-channel discrete loudspeaker array designed to take advantage of the added sound-stage dimensionality made available through the use of wave field synthesis (WFS). EMPAC embarked on the design and construction of this high-density loudspeaker array with the goal of increasing the high-frequency resolution of current, traditional, horizontal WFS systems while creating a modular, easily deployable, and accessible solution for research, composition, and presentation.

About Patricia Alessandrini, electronics

Patricia Alessandrini's works actively engage with the concert music repertoire, and issues of representation, interpretation, perception and memory, often in the context of social and political issues. These works are often multimedia, theatrical, and collaborative, involving live electronics, resonating objects, and interactive video. She studied composition and electronics at the Conservatorio di Bologna, Conservatoire de Strasbourg, and IRCAM, and holds two PhDs, from Princeton University and the Sonic Arts Research Centre (SARC) respectively. Her principal composition teachers were Ivan Fedele, Paul Koonce, Tristan Murail, and Thea Musgrave.

Her works have been presented at Agora, Archipel, Ars Musica, Musica Strasbourg, Musiques Démesurées, Mostly Mozart, Sonorities, and Miso Music (Lisbon), and performed by ensembles including Accroche Note, Arditti Quartet, Ensemble Aleph, Ensemble Alternance, Ensemble InterContemporain, l'itinéraire, Nicolas Hodges, and Ensemble Vortex.
