Kip Rosser's "The Complete Theremin" » Treats

A Little Bit Live From Joe’s Pub

KipRosser — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:10:40 +0000

Under the auspices of the New York Theremin Society, I was privileged to be part of an
evening with four other thereminists. Cinematographer, Kasper Tuxen was on hand and
although he shot only very brief sequences of our performances, the celebratory
atmosphere and overwhelming audience enthusiasm in very much in evidence. So, here’s a
little bit, live.

A Repeat Lesson From Vinegar Mother

KipRosser — Sun, 07 Jul 2013 21:15:10 +0000

Lesson 9 from Lessons from Vinegar Mother. This version features new original video as
intended for the performance piece. The spoken material is also clearer than the Asheville
footage. The Cornelia Street Café is a much more intimate setting (with a much smaller
stage) and it certainly captures the immediacy of the experience. A thousand thanks to friend
and owner, Robin, as well as curator Angelo for a fantastic evening.

Lessons From Vinegar Mother, Part 3Live From Asheville Electro-Music

KipRosser — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 18:26:32 +0000

The final excerpt from the premier of segments of “Lessons From Vinegar Mother,” live from
2013 Ashville Electro-Music. This is Lesson 4. Somewhat akin to the reading of tea leaves,
pattern formations and movements of actual Mother of Vinegar are interpreted and imparted
by practitioners as “lessons.” Each original composition in this performance piece is directly
inspired by the content of a particular lesson. Lesson 4 is as follows: Paint on the walls you
have built between yourself and the ones you love. Breathe your soul’s color, light and shade
into your pictures and images. Do it well and those you love will be moved to pick up a brush
and offer you their symbols and their images. The more paint applied to each side, the sooner
the wall dissolves.

generation “daughter” of the Vinegar Mother. The music was directly inspired by the text
of this lesson. Video projection by Ted Klett.

Improvisation in Strict TimeFrom the Dalet Concert SeriesFeaturing PascAli and Me

KipRosser — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 06:13:40 +0000

From Princeton’s Dalet Concert Series curated and run by the wonderful Irena Gobernik and
Leo Vayn. This segment from the concert features PascAli and Kip Rosser playing together
for the first time. A challenging eleven minutes during which two contrabasses and a
theremin produce sounds so unusual that they seem to emanate from something
other than the instruments.

Moondance

It’s “Moondance.” That says it all. Everybody sing!

the 2011 Kansas City Electro-Music Festival.
