Psychoangelo is a partnership between composer, guitarist, artist Theodore and Glen Whitehead, associate professor, Department of Visual and Performing Arts. Whitehead is a trumpeter and sound artist. This electro acoustic group creates artificially enhanced environmental music by sculpting ambience, density, orchestral textures, sound objects, and manipulating time through an improvised frame. Time Out Chicago named their release “panauromni” (Innova records) as a top 10 CD of the year.
“Micro/macro” is a monumental experiential installation by Theodore on display in the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art campus location through Nov. 19. Inspired by observations and experiences of the natural world, Theodore creates dynamic fields of color, light, and sound in a variety of mediums. Theodore holds faculty appointments at the University of Colorado, Boulder, with the College of Music (music composition and technology), the Department of Art and Art History (by courtesy), and is Director of the ATLAS Institute’s Center for Media, Arts and Performance, an incubator for experimental media created with technology. Theodore received degrees from Amherst College, Yale, and the University of California San Diego.
Theodore’s works, including interactive kinetic installations, sound and light works, moving images and musical compositions, have been presented across the United States, and in Mexico, Trinidad y Tobago, Greece, Spain, Germany, Sweden, France, Australia, Japan, and China.
Psychoangelo is currently working on its next recording project produced by Ryan Wurst and expected to be released in 2017 by the Always Human record label.
Gallery hours are noon-5 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, or by appointment.
