PC Rockin'

If you think that Radiohead's Kid A is a trifling collection of pop ditties, then why rock down to Electric Avenue for an experimental music concert presented by the University of North Texas Center for Experimental Music and Intermedia? We're not even close to recommending this as a date. In fact, we're not even close to recommending this, period, unless, well, you're a computer music geek, in which case you can get your fix by catching Philippe Manoury live. Lil' Phil, as he's known around the Dallas Observer crib, is billed as a world-renowned computer music composer, and when he brings that old-school mix of New Age funk and high-tech crunk to North Texas, there won't be a dry complexion in the house. Also in the mix will be the dynamic duo of flutist Elizabeth McNutt and Miller Puckette, a computer technologist, whose contributions to the electric vibe are sure to be immense. Guest soprano Juliana Snapper, the Faith Evans of the group, will be kicking it as well. The experimental music concert, which is free, will be held at the Merrill Ellis Intermedia Theater, Avenue C and Chestnut Street on the UNT campus in Denton.
Wed., Jan. 25, 8 p.m.
