“[Composer] Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe specializes in creating live concerts that defy description using only his
versatile voice and some electronic wizardry.”
—Los Angeles Times
Adventurous artist, curator, and composer Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe creates hypnotic sound worlds that blur the boundaries between live performance and installation. His signature style builds upon the call-and-response tradition in African American music that can be traced from sacred hymnals to the secular work songs that inform the 20th-century continuum of the blues, jazz, and soul. This veteran sound artist comes to the Veterans Room for the premiere of his new work, “The Unbearable Comedy of a Caterwaul in 4 Parts” for modular synth, voice, and bowed and struck objects. This builds on his electronic and vocal performance practice in the realm of spontaneous music, blending analog synthesizers with organic vocal expression to create auditory passageways with trancelike suspensions.
Public support is provided by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council under the leadership of Speaker Adrienne Adams.
