Perfomance: Still, for Solo Piano
2017-10-05 18:30 - 19:30 | Clyfford Still Museum, 1250 Bannock Street, Denver, CO, 80204, United States
Ashlee Mack, director of piano studies, Knox College
James Romig, professor of music theory and composition, Western Illinois University
Music exists in time, which moves in only one direction. Because of this, many works of music provide a listener with a relatively narrow aesthetic path. A viewer of visual art, on the other hand, is usually free to choose which artwork to observe and determines his or her own aesthetic experience.
Taking inspiration from the Clyfford Still Museum’s single-artist setting, Still, for Solo Piano, composed by James Romig, endeavors to create a “museum of sound,” offering multiple variations of harmony and rhythm that refer to color and form in Clyfford Still’s paintings. Join Ashlee Mack and James Romig for a gallery performance of this work, with a short talk after the performance.

As you’re probably well aware, there’s a lot going on in your gut, but did you realize our intestines have a place in history? Jessica Metcalf, assistant professor of animal sciences at Colorado State University, uses microbes preserved in coprolites (ancient fecal material) to characterize the gut microbiome of ancient humans, allowing her to map how our intestines have changed over time, particularly in the recent past due to western practices, such as widespread use of antibiotics, high-fat diets, and intense hygiene practices. Get up close and personal with these microscopic organisms, and find out the implications Metcalf’s research has for human health.
