Simple Actions: The Music of Larry Polansky

Larry Polansky (1954–2024) left behind a body of compositions, software, performances, and musicological work, before passing away at 69 years old in May 2024. For what would have been his 70th birthday, The Lab is hosting a program of work under the title Simple Actions—part of a series of live Amiga pieces he performed at The Lab and throughout the Bay Area in the 1980s.
The program includes performances of *Piker* (1998) by **Margaret Lancaster**, *ii-v-i* (1997) by **Giacomo Fiore**, *Approaching the Azimuth* (1998) by **Matt Ingalls**, *freeHorn* (2004), selections from *b’midbar* (1998) by **Sarah Cahill**, and Polansky’s last major work *five songs for kate and vanessa* (2020) by **Kate Stenberg, Vanessa Ruotolo, and Rory Cowal**. Other program additions may be announced online.
