As the sun sets on UMMA's special exhibition Fluxus and The Essential Questions of Life, students and faculty from the Performing Arts Technology Department at University of Michigan's School of Music, Theatre & Dance present a rare performance of George Brecht's Motor Vehicle Sundown. Composed in 1960 and dedicated to John Cage, who would have turned 100 this year, Motor Vehicle Sundown consists of a series of actions performed in and around a number of automobiles outdoors. Horns will honk, engines will rev, lights will flash and doors will slam in a beautiful and bizarre choreography. The performance kicks off the 12th annual International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression at the University of Michigan. The conference brings together scholars, designers, artists and musicians from around the world dedicated to creating and using new technologies in music performance. Free - no tickets required
