This extended 50-minute work for 14 musicians and conductor, was composed by Laura Andel, premiered by the laura andel orchestra, and recorded live by Elliott Sharp in October 2002 in New York city. SomnambulisTwas then released under the Canadian label Red Toucan Records in April 2003. And now, we celebrate this cd release as part of the Roulette Concert Series at The Flea Theatre. In SomnambulisT, the conductor and performers have both a compositional and improvisatory role. Part of the music is created and formed through the act of conducting, combining actions and sounds that are both well-defined and open. Listen here to SomnambulisT mp3 excerpts.

october 25 (2002) —premiere performance / recording production

SomnambulisT is Laura Andel's work for 14 musicians and conductor. It was premiered on October 25, 2002 at the Consulate of Argentina. Check out the musicians a few minutes before going on stage!  SomnambulisT walks the fine line between real and surreal in the space and time between subtle and subversive. (Curious of what's behind SomnambulisT?)
