di Rosa presents Fiat Lux: Sean Hallowell at First Street Napa

In partnership with First Street Napa, di Rosa presents “Fiat Lux” at di Rosa Downtown: a series of performances by audio-visual artists working with light, sound, and movement to create immersive experiences. On Friday, February 28, composer and video artist Sean Hallowell will perform at First Street’s Artist’s Alley.

Hallowell’s audiovisual performance draws on melodies and techniques from Medieval European vocal music, and features polyrhythmic electronic beats set to visuals generated by analog video synthesizers of the composer’s own design.

Date & Time: Friday, February 28 | 6:30PM – 7:30PM

Location: First Street Napa | di Rosa Downtown | 1300 First St., Ste 251, Napa

This Event is FREE to attend.

Fiat Lux at di Rosa Downtown will continue with a performance by artist Joe Shoemaker on March 28.

About the Artist:

Sean Russell Hallowell is a composer and video artist based in Occidental, CA. His time-based artworks synthesize experimental techniques developed from hand-built circuitry with a cosmic perspective on music as a conduit for physical and metaphysical energy. Inspired by the affordances of outmoded media technologies, he explores the phenomenology of time in relation to the “arts of number” enumerated by the traditional Medieval quadrivium — music, arithmetic, geometry, and astronomy. His work has been showcased at venues and festivals across the US as well as in Mexico, Chile, South Korea, Japan, Belgium, the UK, Croatia, Poland, and Iceland. His immersive A/V pieces have been recently installed at galleries in San Francisco, New York City, and London. He has degrees in music from Brown University (BA) and Columbia University (PhD), where he studied Medieval music theory and composition.
