Soup Synthesis

Synthesize My Soup, please. Impossible not to want to make some joke about the title -- possibly involving Scotch broth and minestrone. But Synthesize My Soup is actually the name of one of the most provocative and interesting concerts from the most recent WSO New Music Festival.

Tonight you can hear music from this concert on The Signal (10 p.m.). recorded live at the Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall. Musical guests along with the WSO include violinist Jesse Zubot (pictured here) and pianist Glenn Buhr, among others.

Also on the broadcast is the WSO's performance of composer Nicole Lizee's Arcadiac, which includes the gritty 8-bit sounds of early arcade games like Choplifter and Star Wars, and David Eagle's digitally manipulated work Soundplay 2.
