Transmissions from the TANK: Alan Mackwell

Let yourself be enveloped by the unparalleled resonance of the TANK, with original musical compositions recorded in the TANK and played back on ATLAS B2’s immersive 44-multichannel spatialized speaker array, which recreates the TANK's remarkable sonic environment for Front Range audiences. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind sonic experience!

This event showcases Alan Mackwell’s Rail Dynamics, a multi-movement work for string trio and fixed media, structured as ten landscape-style movements and inspired by a defunct rail line in northern New Mexico's high desert.

The work premiered at The TANK Center for the Sonic Arts on September 22, 2024, as part of Connecting Colorado, a residency program bringing CU artists to the TANK.

Jordan Grantonic (violin), Emma Reynolds (viola), and Peyton Magalhaes (cello).
