Event Description:
Join composer Chris Kincaid and his wife Leslie Clements as they share their story of how a collection of weaving draft patterns of historic coverlets inspired them to compose a six-movement piece for string quartet and electronics. Kincaid will share a live recording of the piece and discuss his method for basing each movement on a different aspect of the tradition of overshot weaving – in some moments the music is a literal interpretation of a weaving draft pattern, which looks similar to a musical staff with notes, but other times, the composer integrates more abstract concepts of the weaving tradition into the music. Programming held in conjunction with CCCD Benchspace Gallery's "Warped" exhibition, on view at 67 Broadway until August 20, 2016. Media sponsorship for "Warped" provided by Surface Design Association.
Directions:
The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design is located in downtown Asheville, in the Broadway Art District. Parking downtown is limited. Metered parking is free after 6pm, and CCCD is located near Rankin parking deck and two private pay-by-space lots.
