MetLiveArts: Mind Out of Matter

New York Premiere

Pioneering composer Scott Johnson teams up with the renowned new music ensemble Alarm Will Sound in Mind Out of Matter, a work based on the recorded voice of philosopher Daniel Dennett. Dennett is known for grounding his philosophy in cognitive science and evolutionary theory, and Mind Out of Matter features his reflections on the origins and evolution of religion and supernatural beliefs. With melodies and rhythms derived directly from Dennett’s speech, the colorful, rock-inflected score tracks his view of the Darwinian life of ideas, evolving within their native ecosystems of human minds and cultures.

Bring the Kids for $1.
