SNS 2016 | CEEMI
Arte Institute proudly presents Summer Nights Series with the performance “CEEMI – Collaborative Experimental Electronic Music Instrument” by Gil Teixeira at Union Square Park North Plaza on July 26, 2016 at 8pm.
CEEMI is an innovative piece of technology that turns any WiFi compatible device – a smartphone, tablet, desktop or laptop computer – into a collaborative electronic musical instrument on the fly. It was specially designed for the performance of music by groups of people without prior musical training. Gil Teixeira – CEEMI’s creator – wil
challenge the audience present in this event to become performers themselves and lead them in the creation/performance of an original piece of music on the spot.
Gil Teixeira is a portuguese musician, sound artist and creative leader that has developed in recent years a keen interest in the exploration of technology in collaborative music making contexts.
He is a founding member of the instrumental post-rock band La La La Ressonance, creator of CEEMI (a Collaborative Experiential Electronic Music Instrument) and has led creative projects in the USA, Portugal, Norway, Argentina, UK and Tanzania.
He’s currently based in Pittsburgh PA.
