QUADRA Premiere
QUADRA is a quadraphonic-only sound art /music ensemble involving San Diego underground music veterans. The project is the brainchild of Jason Soares (founder of Points of Action and a member of Physics and Aspects of Physics) who has been experimenting with modular synthesis and orchestrating immersive sound. The “QUADRA” is a space created by a speaker in each corner of a square configuration where the performers and listeners will co-exist. The event will be held in two phases: ● Phase One will be a sound art installation at the top floor of the event space, where the public will be able to come and experience audio phenomena. ● Phase Two will be a live quadraphonic performance in the venue’s courtyard, where all instruments are fed through the 6500-watt modular system, spatializing the sound and creating an immersive sound field space. For the performance, Soares teams up with drummer Arturo Ulloa (also of Aspects of Physics), Earthless’ Mike Egington on bass guitar, and Rob Crow (of Pinback and way too many music projects to name) on guitar. Co-collaborator Matt Lorenz will bring his unique perspective to the event, along with other surprise guests appearing in-person and virtually.
