CCRMA Presents: MUGIC® Magic! – Music for Violin and Motion Sensor MUGIC®

Violinist and composer Mari Kimura presents an hour-long international program featuring works written for violin and her MUGIC® motion sensor. The program includes compositions by Dai Fujikura (Japan), Páll Pálsson (Iceland) and Ileana Perez Velazquez (Cuba). Kimura will give the world premiere of a game-based new work submitted! by Nolan Miranda (USA), a CCRMA alum currently pursuing his PhD at UC Irvine. She also revised Variants by Jean-Claude Risset (France), originally composed in 1993 for her, to incorporate interactive elements using the MUGIC sensor. The program includes Kimura's recent works: the premiere of the violin version of Sasakawa (originally composed for clarinet trio with MUGICs) and SOMAXMOBILE, which utilizes IRCAM's SOMAX technology.

Violinist/Composer Mari Kimura, hailed by The New York Times as a "virtuoso playing at the edge," captivates audiences with performances that seamlessly blend virtuosity and innovation. A master of subharmonics—a revolutionary technique producing pitches an octave below the violin's lowest string—she expands the instrument's sonic possibilities in breathtaking ways.
