"Home on the 4th" a/v piece, premiere: 8pm
“Home on the 4th” was written during social turmoil, quarantine, and personal reflection. It consists of five real-time, audio-visual improvisations to reflect the times. This piece was completed on the 4th of July.

About the artists
NEIL LEONARD is a sound artist, saxophonist and composer. He often performs his compositions for saxophone and electronics with top musicians and folkloric ensembles. Recent sound installations explore how global marketing impacts our listening, and were made in collaboration with bartenders, biologists, street criers and dock workers. For years, he has created projects engaging musicians living in both the United States and Cuba, where art is both a final result, and means to circumvent prohibition. Leonard's outdoor quadrophonic sound installation "Sonance for the Precession" is presently heard outside the Usdan Gallery at Bennington College, where it plays 30 minutes before sunset, daily from February 28-May 9. He is the Artistic Director of the Interdisciplinary Arts Institute, at Berklee College of Music. Neil's latest album on Bandcamp: https://neilleonard.bandcamp.com/album/matanzas
