About the RITE: RemixED

Ricardo Romaneiro joins forces with Ryan Francis and Leo Leite to re-conceptualize the most revolutionary work of the 20th Century, Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, through the lens of the latest sounds and technology from electronica. Combined with acoustic forces of a huge percussion and brass ensemble, two keyboards, two laptops, and electric bass, The Rite: Remixed will fuse a futuristic, rhythm-inspired sonic tableaux with a hyper-kinetic visual show.

About Digital Cities

What is digital? What is real?  Their meeting point in sound. Building on a series of acclaimed live electronic improvisations in several cities, Ricardo Romaneiro’s newest work, Digital Cities, elides the visual topography of computer chips and cityscapes through the media of digital and acoustic composition and performance. You can preview this new work: download the promo singles, Digital Cities I & II, from Amazon or iTunes.
