HEARING PICTURES: THIS SHIP ISN’T SINKING ITSELF

THIS SHIP ISN’T SINKING ITSELF&nbsp;&nbsp;is a new collaboration between violist/composer Christian Frederickson and projection designers Joshua Higgason and Supreetha Krishnan. It features original compositions for viola and electronics and immersive video design. THIS SHIP ISN’T SINKING ITSELF engages with our very specific moment in history, questioning deep feelings of lack of agency and a world culture that seems out of control.&nbsp; HEARING PICTURES&nbsp;is a series of events curated by Christian Frederickson at MIT Theater Arts featuring Boston-area artists exploring the intersections of music, visual art, sound, and the moving image. Initial support for the series was provided by the Council for the Arts at MIT.&nbsp; CHRISTIAN FREDERICKSON&nbsp;is a violist, composer, and sound designer who specializes in live music performance for theater and dance. He was a founding member and one of the principal songwriters of the Louisville, KY-based instrumental band Rachel's, who released 6 albums on Quarterstick Records between 1995 and 2003. As a solo artist, Frederickson has released seven albums since 2011 and has recorded viola with Rodan, Shipping News, Seluah, Rachel Grimes, Occurrence, Greg King, Rivulets, Mission of Burma, The For Carnation, Per Mission, Samara Lubelski, and Shannon Wright. Since 2004 Frederickson has worked primarily in theater and dance and has taught design at MIT since 2019. Frederickson was trained as a classical musician and holds a bachelor's degree from The Peabody Conservatory and a master's degree from The Juilliard School.&nbsp; &nbsp; JOSHUA HIGGASON&nbsp;is a video, lighting, scenic, and interactive designer for theater, opera, concerts, and live performances.
