Noa Even presents atomic, a multimedia program for solo saxophonist that addresses themes of human connection. Premiered in 2019, this long-term collaborative project continues with the addition of Nasim Khorassani's theatrical work InContact@Zero for baritone saxophone, electronics, and video. Khorassani explores the many emotional layers of grief after experiencing the untimely death of her beloved brother. The concert also features music by Emily Koh (video by Michiko Saiki), Chris Biggs, and José Martínez (video by Sara Martínez). As a response to the travel ban of 2017 Koh sonifies stifled voices of immigrants through breath and microtonal gestures of varied emotion throughout b(locked.orders). Biggs' Imprints in Time abstractly reflects how people are connected through their interactions. Through Do I Regret?, Martínez’s pursues the impossibility of undoing the past, of revisiting memories and changing them.
