Christine Southworth


Christine Southworth (b. Boston, Massachusetts, 2 January 1978) is an American composer of postminimal music and works with combinations of Western ensembles, electronics, and world music ensembles including Balinese gamelan and bagpipes. She performs Balinese gamelan and gender wayang with Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Gamelan Galak Tika, as well as Galician Gaita and Great Highland Bagpipes. She co-founded Ensemble Robot, a cooperative of engineers, artists and musicians working together to invent robotic musical instruments. She was also the general manager of Gamelan Galak Tika from 2004 through 2013. Her own music incorporates her work with Balinese gamelan and with technology and electronics, as well as reaching beyond these influences with an expanded palette of contemporary classical, jazz and rock, and world music from Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.
Southworth has released four albums on Airplane Ears Music: ''Zap! Music for Van de Graaff Generator, Tesla Coils, Instruments and Voices'' (2008),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ZAP! [CD] – $17.00 : Zen Cart!, Airplane Ears Music Shop )〕 ''Gamelan Galak Tika: Bronze Age Space Age'' (2009),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gamelan Galak Tika: Bronze Age Space Age [CD] – $17.00 : Zen Cart!, Airplane Ears Music Shop )〕 ''Christine Southworth: String Quartets'' (2013).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Christine Southworth: String Quartets [CD] – $17.00 : Zen Cart!, Airplane Ears Music Shop )〕 and (''In My Mind and In My Car'' (2013). ) Southworth's compositions have been performed throughout the U.S., Europe, and Indonesia by ensembles including Kronos Quartet, Gamelan Galak Tika, Calder Quartet, Bang on a Can All-Stars, Gamelan Semara Ratih, California EAR Unit, Andrew W.K., and Ensemble Robot. She has received awards from the American Music Center, LEF Foundation, American Composers Forum, Meet the Composer, New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA), the MIT Eloranta Fellowship, and fellowships from Bang on a Can (2009), UCross Foundation (2012), and The Hermitage Artist Retreat (2014).
== Career ==

Southworth's compositional career began in 1999 with a trip to Bali, Indonesia, where she began studying Gender Wayang with I Wayan Loceng, in the village of Sukawati. Upon returning to the United States, Arnold Dreyblatt's Orchestra of Excited Strings premiered her short piece ''Timor Cotton'' at MIT Kresge Auditorium, which was based on styles she had learned in Bali. In 2002, she was a fellow at the first annual Bang on a Can Summer Institute of Music at Mass MOCA.
She attended the Computer Music and Multimedia Composition (MEME) program at Brown University from 2004 to 2006], during which she premiered her hour-long work ''Zap! Music for Van De Graaff Generator, Tesla Coils, Instruments and Voices'' at the Boston Museum of Science's Theater of Electricity. The first performance of ''Zap!'' on February 4, 2004 overfilled the Boston Museum of Science’s Theater of Electricity with energized crowds of students, professors, artists, children, and adults. The Boston Phoenix called the show “truly electrifying,” describing that “Ever since Bob Dylan, ‘going electric’ has had many connotations, but this was something different: though ''Zap!'' utilized the talents of a flutist, two keyboardists, a cellist, a guitarist, a bassist, a drummer, a vocalist, a double-helix-shaped robotic xylophone, sound engineers, and computer programmers, the centerpiece of Southworth’s performance was electricity itself, as millions of volts buzzed, fizzled, and sparked in deafening cracks that punctuated her music.” (Will Spitz, Boston Phoenix) In 2008, she released a recording of "Zap!" featuring Robert Black (bass), David Cossin (percussion), Felix Fan (cello), Philippa Thompson (voice), Charles Whalen (guitar), and Evan Ziporyn (clarinet/keyboards). The album received praise from reviewers including WNYC's John Schaefer, "Classical music certainly not in danger of becoming a museum piece" and was named "Pick of the Week" on WNYC on July 30, 2008.
In 2007, Southworth was commissioned by the Carlsbad Music Festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Carlsbad Music Festival Past Seasons | )〕 to compose "Honey Flyers" for the Calder Quartet. "Honey Flyers" received wide acclaim after performances at Le Poisson Rouge in New York, The Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline, MA, Lakeshore Theater in Chicago, and the Swedish American Theater in San Francisco, described as " an absolutely beautiful song reminiscent of a combination of God Is An Astronaut mixed with the Tosca Tango Orchestra's Waking Life soundtrack, with huge dramatic breaks and patterns that drew out the beauty of these "Honey Flyers" by Joe Dahlstrom of JamBase The Chicago performance was reviewed by Laurie Rojas of Time Out Chicago: "Clapping didn’t have to wait for the end of the piece; head banging had never felt so painless; foot stomping had never been so welcome. A string quartet has rarely been so loose. The members could rarely hold themselves from smiling and rocking out, banging their heads to their own chords."
In 2009, Southworth was the first composer to be commissioned by The Explorers Club in New York, which commissioned "Volcano" for the Calder Quartet, and was awarded the Bang on a Can People's Commissioning Fund commission for "Concerning the Doodle" for the Bang on a Can All-Stars which was premiered on February 24, 2010 at Merkin Hall at the Kauffman Center in New York, NY. Allan Kozinn from the New York Times described the performance "Christine Southworth’s “Concerning the Doodle” accompanies a film (about the adventures and fantasies of a dog) by the Clever Girls Collaborative. It is straightforward, texturally and harmonically: the piece begins as an assertive blast of hard rock, driven by David Cossin’s drumming, the guitarist Mark Stewart’s power chords and Robert Black’s solid bass. But Ms. Southworth soon moves the players through a parade of quirkier, bright-hued pop styles in an appealingly unpredictable structure driven by the film."
Also in 2009, she was commissioned by Performing Arts Center for a work for Balinese Gamelan Selonding with electronics, which was premiered at the International Gamelan Festival Amsterdam at the Lichthal Tropenmuseum by Gamelan Semara Ratih on September 10, 2010, and she was commissioned by the National Film Preservation Foundation to accompany historical films for the collection Treasures V: The American West. On August 13, 2010, she premiered "Supercollider," for the Kronos Quartet and Gamelan Elektrika, at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors Festival to an audience of approximately 5000. A subsequent performance at MIT's Festival of Arts, Science and Technology was hailed by the Boston Globe's Jeremy Eichler as "coolly exhilarating", "courted both common ground and the energy of culture clash by pitting the Kronos Quartet in traditional and avant-gardish sonorities against the interlaced rhythmic complexities of the gamelan."
Yo-yo Ma's Silk Road Project commissioned Southworth to compose ''La Fée Verte'' for Galician gaita, string quartet and percussion in 2012, and in 2013 she began collaborating with Evan Ziporyn on an evening length work for solo bass clarinet and electronics, called ''In My Mind and In My Car'', released as a digital album in fall 2013 by Airplane Ears Music.
Southworth's most recent album ''Christine Southworth: String Quartets'', featuring the Kronos Quartet, Gamelan Galak Tika's Gamelan Elektrika, The Calder Quartet, and Face the Music,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=18 April 2013 )〕 received acclaim from Frank Oteri and WNYC's New Sounds
