JG Thirlwell featuring LEMUR
Whitney Museum
Friday, November 2

Composers' Showcase
Whitney Museum of American Art
945 Madison Avenue at 75th Street
Doors 6 pm, Show 7 pm

JG Thirlwell presents two sets of music, first with his group 
Manorexia, then new and recent pieces for LEMUR robots and string 
quartet. Manorexia material will be drawn from the two Manorexia 
albums, Volvox Turbo (2001) and The Radiolarian Ooze (2002). JG will 
also present several pieces he has composed with the LEMUR robotic 
instruments and a live string quartet. In addition to 
"Prosopagnosia," a commissioned piece he premiered earlier this year 
at LEMUR's Robosonic Eclectic concert, Thirlwell will present a brand 
new piece and two new adaptations for robotic instruments and 
strings: the Steroid Maximus piece L'espion Qui A Pleure and a 
special rearrangement of the theme song for The Venture Brothers 
cartoon.
