Joel Chadabe
EMF Institute will present a concert of tributes to Joel Chadabe at the 2022 NYC Electroacoustic Music Festival June 22 at 1 pm.
Chadabe, who passed away in May of 2021, was an electronic music pioneer, teacher, author, and performer as well as the founder of EMF Institute.
“A Musical Tribute to Joel Chadabe” will include new and recent works by composers Marc Battier, Tom Beyer & Ben Chadabe (Joel’s son), Svjetlana Bukvich, Warren Burt, Bob Gluck, Richard Lainhart, Mary Simoni, and Laetitia Sonami. The concert features the use of technologies that piqued and sustained Joel’s sonic curiosities.
Without question, the life of Joel Chadabe has had a profound impact on electronic music from his interactive compositions and performances to his seminal book on the history of electronic music, “Electric Sound: The Past and Promise of Electronic Music.”
The concert, curated by the Directors of the EMF Institute, recognizes this pioneering work. Through the performance of historical compositions, the use of historical technologies to realize the performance of works, and listening to the musicality of Joel’s spoken words, the program will honor his memory and lasting contributions to the field of electronic music.
