by BWW News Desk - February 05, 2018

OYSTER, An Experimental Opera Explores Alan Lomax's Contribution To The 'algorithmizing' Of Our Modern World
by BWW News Desk - January 31, 2018
What might the singing style in folk music from "Arctic Asia" or "Insular Pacific" say about these regions' respective cultural levels of…sexual repression? Such was one type of question monumental blues and folk music archivist Alan Lomax sought to answer with Cantometrics. Introduced in the mid-1960s, and harnessing some of the earliest computer technologies (like the IBM360), Cantometrics was Lomax's little-known, yet astronomically ambitious-and widely dismissed-system of coding all forms of sung music. oyster, a humorous and probing new experimental opera from composer and multidisciplinary artist Joe Diebes begs the question: how much can we really know of people and culture through computer profiling? Embedded in this 1966-set performance are nascent hints at a culture careening towards the slicker algorithmizing of all facets of life.
