Through sheer serendipity, the last week of April 2004 is shaping up to be "live Kyma week" at the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign. On Monday April 26, guest composer Steve Everett's Rendezvous IV for violin and Kyma will receive its premiere performance at 7:30 pm in the Music Building Auditorium. On Tuesday at 5 pm, Everett will present a Composers' Forum lecture on his work.

Then, on Wednesday, guest composer/pianist Janis Mercer will be presenting a concert of new works for piano at 7:30 pm in the Colwell Playhouse Theatre at the Krannert Center; included on that program is Disturbed Radiance for piano and live Kyma interaction by Brian Belet. The theme of live Kyma interaction continues into the next evening's concert by the New Music Ensemble (also at the Colwell Playhouse Theatre and also starting at 7:30 pm).

Thursday evening's performance at the Colwell Playhouse features composer-in-residence Agostino Di Scipio's Natura allo Specchio for two percussionists, interactive signal processing through Kyma, and 8-track digital tape.
