CELIA
HOLLANDER
Highland Park, CA
On this round of Modern Composition L.A., we conduct a virtual visit to Celia Hollander’s Highland Park studio. With a visual art and architecture background, the Los Angeles native explores temporality through a painterly approach to the musical medium. Through digital audio manipulation she liquifies seemingly static sounds, unveiling infinite textural perspectives.
For her appearance on this program, Hollander shares recordings from her ever-expanding discography, a mix of sonic influences, audio documentation of recent projects and the premiere of a brand new composition. Join us to hear how neighborhood soundscapes, organic life cycles, natural environments and Los Angeles’ creative community fold themselves into Celia Hollander’s work.
