The New York Electronic Art Festival performance series in partnership with MATA and ISSUE Project Room is pleased to present composer Natacha Diels. Ms. Diels will share an evening with Michael Morley. She will present new and recent works involving inspirational quotes, messages from another world, and a step-by-step guide to using heavy machinery in healing rituals. All of it goes into the big cauldron brewing souls and potion to better understand and have mercy on each other and ourselves.
Natacha Diels’ work combines choreographed movement, improvisation, video, instrumental practice, and cynical play to create worlds of curiosity and unease. Recent work includes Papillon and the Dancing Cranes, for construction cranes (Borealis Festival 2018), and a performed installation entitled I Love Myself Fully and Unconditionally (Darmstadt Summer Institute 2018). With a focus on collaboration, collage, and the ritual of art as life, Natacha’s compositions have been described as “a fairy tale for a fractured world” (Music We Care About).
Natacha is a member of the composer/performer collective Ensemble Pamplemousse (est. 2003) and the performance duo On Structure (est. 2009). Pamplemousse specializes in unique aspects of new music composition, from complex virtuosic instrumental performance to experimental theatre to electronic and robotic performance. On Structure is a sound-centric highly choreographed paradoxically improvisatory collaboration project, performing whenever travel paths collide. Natacha teaches composition and computer music at the University of California, San Diego.
