Student Otto Briner on Victor Gama's Visit to MIT
Victor Gama is a composer whose process begins with the creation of an entirely new instrument, one whose design is steeped in symbolic meaning. Concept design, the selection of materials, fabrication, and scoring is all part of the rigorous way Gama creates new music for the 21st century, blending current fabrication technologies with ideas, materials, and traditions inspired by the natural world. From March 2-7, Gama shared his visionary work with the MIT community visiting classes and dorms, , and presenting a lecture/demonstration for the class "Music and Technology."
