Paris-born composer Daniel Wohl blends electronic music with acoustic instrumentation and is known to create provocative and imaginative pieces. In a few short years, this promising young musician has collaborated with prestigious ensembles, orchestras, filmmakers and notable visual and electronic artists.
Commissioned by Atlanta-based Sonic Generator and glo, two major contributors to the Atlanta contemporary art scene, “yesterday she plowed the land” is a multi-sensory experience which incorporates an improbable but dazzling combination of sounds. After being performed as a preview with Sonic Generator and Orchestre National de Lorraine (ONL) in France in 2014, it is premiering in the US during France-Atlanta 2016 as a full-length ballet performed by glo under the tilte ‘yesterday she plowed the land’.
Commissioned by glo and Sonic Generator with the support of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France to the United States.
