The first point of departure for this year’s Recombinant Festival is the West Coast premiere of the documentary film “Where Does A Body End?" embarking on a journey through the experimental history of the pioneering band Swans. Following the screening of this film by Marco Porsia, never-before-seen live concert film clips provide further insight painting an intimate portrait of the artists’ infamously confrontational performances and audio experimentations from 1983 – 2017. The opening night will feature a live solo performance by noted musician Norman Westberg, the guitarist of Swans through the majority of the band's thirty year existence. • Morton Subotnick "Silver Apples of the Moon" Live Silver Apples of the Moon is the debut album by American composer and musician Morton Subotnick, released by Nonesuch Records in July 1967. A showcase for the Buchla 100 synthesizer, an early analogue synthesizer that Subotnick helped develop, it was the first piece of electronic music commissioned by a record company. The record has since gone on to be considered a milestone in electronic music; it was the first album to feature a voltage-based synthesizer and the first piece of both classical and electronic music written specifically for the album format. The album's sequenced rhythms are credited with anticipating electronic dance music. Get your festival pass to gain access to the full festival line-up: grayarea.org/recombinant-2019/
