Open Rehearsal with the Instrument Design Team for The Glance

In this open rehearsal, composer and performer Anne Hege collaborates with instrument builders Curtis Ullerich and Dan Iglesia to develop live interactions between custom-built electronic instruments, sound, and video for The Glance.

The performance centers on three instruments: Orphea’s Lyre, an analog system made from deconstructed cassette players that records and layers sound in real time; Hades’ Orb, a motion-tracked hoop that filters sound through movement; and Orphea’s Underworld Detector, a modified radio that captures signals via a small-range transmitter.

Audiences are invited into the creative process, experiencing live experimentation, problem-solving, and decision-making as the team develops instruments that shape character and narrative within a new operatic work.
