Raven Chacon creates music ranging from hypnotic melodies to abstract experiments of sound as he utilizes Native American musical forms and instruments as well as an unexpected variety of instruments including homebrew analog electronic circuits, simple string instruments and contact mic-ed natural objects (such as antlers and handmade bone flutes). Commissioned by Other Minds, Chacon will debut a piece that addresses and utilizes the soundscape of our national parks and their relationship to their Native American inhabitants. The performance is followed by a Q&A with the artist, hosted by Other Minds’ Executive & Artistic Director, Charles Amirkhanian.
