Episode Seventeen – Music in Motion & Arturo Marquez
Music in Motion was a project created by the Relache Organization in partnership with the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Between 1995 and 2001 the Relache Ensemble and four other ensembles, each dedicated to the creation and performance of contemporary music, collaborated with five presenting organizations in five cities throughout the U.S. The intent was to collaborate with composers to create new works while interacting with a potential audience as the work was in development. An overarching goal was to enhance the audience for new musical works while expanding the repertoire of each ensemble. Phase One comprised the first three years. Phase Two comprised the second two years and introduced an interactive computer program named The Virtual Concert. A total of thirty composers participated in the project. One of those was Mexican composer, Arturo Marquez. In collaboration with the Relache Ensemble while in residence at Arizona State University West in Phoenix he created a work titled “Octeto Malandro.” Episodes Eighteen and Nineteen will feature other musical works from Music in Motion.
