Adam Schmieder will present his CCS Music Composition Senior Recital in the CCS Art Gallery space, on May 14th at 4:30pm.

Silicon Valley Requiem is a composition based on the requiem mass but replacing the liturgical environment with the public theater of Tech CEOs. A trio of synthesized male voices singing Gregorian chant melodies is paired with two live female performers singing statements regarding their actions on earth to a monolithic adjudicating soprano projected above. The application of contemporary technology on medieval plainchant creates a plethora of complex philosophical questions. What does it mean for non-humans to sing a text fundamental to the human condition, mortality, and the afterlife? If a techno-utopia is being sold to us by icons of Silicon Valley here on earth, are we living a post-human existence?

Sophie Lacson '22 (CCS Music Composition) will present her senior composition recital on May 10, 2022 at 7:00pm in the Old Little Theater.
