- PROGRAM Quotes:
- "Fancy - for Organ and Computer-Synthesized
Sound .... . .. . . . . .David Jaeger
- (Commission premiere)
-
- "An English renaissance form
of music, 'Fancy' is used as the basis for a joint work music and
visual by David Jaeger and artist, Carol Sutton Martin. The visible
part consists of flakes of coloured light (soft colours of a Japanese fruit
dessert) produced by light organs linked to the computer electronic tape
and cast upon two distinct sculptural forms. The first form: hanging mirrors
which move freely wit the wind (as the organ is a wind instrument). The
second form: high silver-surfaced columns, scattered at random on stage,
catching light and reflecting it back to the audience. The composer and
artist wish to thank Pennina Coppersmith, architect; Fred Baldwin, builder;
James Swanston, carpenter; Martin Liefhebber, draftsman; Henry Zomer, plastics
consultant; the University of Toronto Electronic Music Studio, Gustav Ciamaga,
director, David Jaeger, graduate of the Faculty of Music, University of
Toronto, is with the national music department, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."

- Additional NOTES ADDED BY CAROL L. SUTTON:
February, 2010:
-
- The first form consisted of three
wooden tower structures; each structure held suspended and linked mirrors,
in six rows across and six rows down, forming a square of 36 mirrors on
each of the three structures. These mirrors moved by fans placed in front
of them and off the stage level, Projected onto the mirrors were lights
linked to the electronic music. In front of the lamps were colored films,
all in soft pastel colours inspired by Japanese fruit desserts, and as
the mirrors moved they threw little spots of flickering lights all over
the entire auditorium in the Edward Johnson Building, bathing it in a sea
of soft moving colours.
-
- Carol wishes to thank all those who
helped her and David in this performance. Not mentioned in the program
notes were, Stephen Harris, a Master craftsman, carpenter and wood worker:
& Sylvia Grossman and her son Josh, Gayle Randall and Sally Jaeger.
Also the members of the Canadian Electronic Ensemble or CEE, composers;
James Montgomery [Jim Montgomery, a.k.a. Mudfish]; Larry Lake, and David
Grimes. Without their help this art and music work would have never happened.
-
- To my knowledge this 1973 work 'Fancye'
by Jaeger and Sutton; is the first major collaboration in Canada that included
art with electronic music and traditional instruments, ever preformed for
a large public venue.
