‘Hajnali’ by Dániel Matei & Madeline Hocking (2024)
Inspired by the Romanian wedding dance known as ‘invertita’, the Hungarian folk song ‘A Hajnali csillag ragyog’, and many other influences, this piece is an expanded version of the duo composed by Dániel Matei and Madeline Hocking. It was reconstructed for trio by Dániel Matei specially for the Dwight and Ursula Mamlok Award Concert at the Tenri Cultural Institute.
See if you can catch the quotes from ‘Tzigane’ by Maurice Ravel, ‘From my Garden’ by Ursula Mamlok, and ‘Third Construction’ by John Cage!

Laudomia by Noise Catalogue (2024)
Laudomia is the 46th city in Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities.
Laudomia is described as a city that exists in three layers:
The living city, where people go about their daily lives.
The city of the dead, the cemetery that mirrors the city of the living.
The city of the unborn, the imagined city that future generations will build.
Calvino writes that every city has another city within it—Laudomia makes this explicit by showing how a city is always layered with its past (the dead) and its future (the unborn).
This piece is part of an evening length multimedia show by Noise Catalogue.
