BENJAMIN SABEY (US)
Based in Southern California and influenced by
the American experimental tradition, French Impressionism, Zen and my own
constant preoccupation with sensing the environment, I want my music to
reflect my particular anti-intellectual streak and my emphasis on the
primacy of feeling. I explore notions of blur, distance and ambiguity as
means of bypassing the codifying, analytical mechanisms of perception in
order to create the possibility of more sensuous and intuitive listening
experience.
BENJAMIN SABEY's music has been performed by many of the leading ensembles
and performers in new music, including the Arditti String Quartet, Le
Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, the New York New Music Ensemble, the Antares
Ensemble and members of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the New Millennium
Ensemble, Red Fish Blue Fish and the Talujon Percussion Quartet.
Distinguished soloists who have performed his music include American
clarinetist Jean Kopperud, Australian clarinetist Anthony Burr and Mexican
guitarist Pablo Gomez. The list of performers and ensembles who have
commissioned works from him include the New York based saxophone and piano
duo, The Kenners, flutist Reiko Manabe, winner of the Japan Society of
Contemporary Music Players Competition, harpsichordist Takae Ohnishi and
The Del Mar College Concert Band. He is currently working on a commission
for violin and interactive computer from the German violinist Felix
Olshofka.
Sabey was recently awarded the Royaumont Prize of Domaine Forget which
includes an expenses paid residency at the Royaumont Abby north of Paris.
Sabey is finishing a PhD at the University of California, San Diego where
he has been a student of Roger Reynolds. He has also studied with Harvey
Sollberger, Chaya Czernowin, Philippe Manoury, Rand Steiger and Chinary
Ung and is currently studying computer music with Miller Puckette and
psycho-acoustics with Richard Moore.
Active as a conductor, keyboardist, vocalist and improviser, Sabey has
appeared in concert with such performers as Charles Curtis, Mark Dresser
and John Fonville and with the San Diego Symphony and La Jolla Symphony
Chorus.
As a fellow of several conferences he has had lessons and master classes
with a wide range of the world's leading composers including Alvin Lucier,
Brian Ferneyhough, Mario Davidovsky and Christopher Rouse.
