FARMINGTON — The University of Maine at Farmington will present the first concert in the New England tour by prominent musical artists Stephen Vitiello and Neil Leonard at 7:30 p.m., Monday, March 7, in the performance space of the Emery Community Arts Center on the UMF campus. It is free and open to the public.

In this live sound collaborative composition, media artist Vitiello and transdisciplinary artist Leonard will explore the use of random computer processing to arrange environmental field recordings and instrumental recordings into a unified sound world. For this performance, everyday objects such as sticks, strings and rocks will intertwine with saxophone and a modular synthesizer in a quadraphonic mix.

Vitiello has had numerous CD releases published on the New Albion, Sub Rosa, 12k, Dragon’s Eye Recordings and Room 40 labels. His sound works are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Lyon.

Leonard is a composer, saxophonist and transdisciplinary artist. His compositions/performances were featured by Carnegie Hall, Musicacustica (Beijing), Sharjah Art Foundation, Moscow Autumn, Museo Reina Sofia and Jazz Plaza International Festival (Havana). He is the artistic director of Berklee College of Music’s Interdisciplinary Arts Institute.
