British-born composer Peter Zinovieff is a true pioneer in the field of electronic music. Founder of London’s Electronic Music Studio in the early 1960s and inventor of the ground-breaking – and highly sought after – VC3 synthesizer, Zinovieff was one of the very first people to use a computer to control electronic sounds, and almost certainly the first to wheel it onto a stage and perform. At Rewire 2017, he’s joined by Lucy Railton, a London by way of Berlin-based cellist hailed as one of the leading instrumentalists working in experimental and electronic music. Collaborating for the first time, the pair have developed RFG, a new work for cello and computer that combines live instrumentation and an array of pre-­recorded, manipulated material. Spatially configured for multiple speakers, the work articulates a bold and luminous meshing of voices, and a visceral encounter between a venerated technological innovator and one of new music’s rising stars.
