Los Angeles, CA, June 23, 2007 - Interactive light-sound boxes that respond to touch, metal flowers that respond with sound to light, 3D light constellations that speak of things past, a cycle of over-the-top Max/MSP/Jitter interactive pieces---this is the gist of "box song and others," a show at Dangerous Curve of recent sound installation work by musician/programmer Marc Nimoy http://www.digitanalog.net.

More about the Artist and the Art
Marc Nimoy received his M.F.A. in Composition-Experimental Sound Practices from CalArts and his B.A. in Music Performance from UCLA. He is a working musician, teacher, and programmer who likes building things such as electronic instruments and clean-looking software interfaces. (See http://music.calarts.edu/~mnimoy/portfolio/programming.html) He performs regularly in the Los Angeles area as a laptop rock star. You may have also seen him around town (including Dangerous Curve) as part of The Nimoys http://www.thenimoys.com, a group he's in with his brother Josh. (Both are nephews of Leonard.) Recently, he started focusing on sound sculptures and installations.
