The Austin New Music Co-op (http://newmusic.coop) is presenting the fourth annual Electrons and Phonons, Austin's premiere concert showcasing compositions of electronic and electro-acoustic music. The program includes instrumentation ranging from ukuleles to iPhones, and a sonic costume made of paper.

The featured artist is Heloise Gold, presenting "The Sound of Paper" which premiered in the 2009 Fusebox Festival. In this work, Ms Gold performs a slow-motion, tai chi inspired dance in a costume made entirely of paper. The subtle crackling sounds of the moving paper are amplified and the result is an intimate, zen-like meditation of the small made large.

Also on the program: Keith Manlove premieres a work for vocals, percussion, live electronics and video; Chris Petkus creates a work for a quartet of iPhones; Alex Keller distresses a bass guitar; Greg Headley creates a piece for sine waves and bowed acoustic guitars; Andrew Stoltz performs on mouthbow with cello and horn; and William Bridges takes the ukulele into uncharted territory.
