Vancouver-born composer and violinist Jack Campbell returns home to perform at his favourite Vancouver venue, Gallery 881. Featuring a programme of original works for solo violin and electronics, this concert explores themes of time, colour, memory, and the complex relationship between culture, technology, and the twentieth century, in dialogue with Michael Love's exhibition.
The programme includes Colossus, for violin, machine sounds, and archival voices, which reimagines the wartime codebreaking process behind the world's first programmable electronic computer; A Music Not Without Majesty, a work inspired by probability theory, the Poisson distribution, and Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, exploring artistic tensions that emerged during the Cold War; and Birdsong No. I, an open-form solo violin work based on transcriptions of Canadian birdsongs gathered through two years of acoustic-ecological fieldwork.
Echoing the exhibition's themes of decay, reuse, transformation, and the intersection of human catastrophe with the natural world, this concert invites audiences to reflect on how the conflicts, technologies, and environments of the past continue to shape our present and future.
