ABOUT CONCEPT LAB

Concept Lab is an exciting new exploratory music series featuring works in progress, improvised works and collaborative and multi-disciplinary projects in all stages of completion.

Created by composers Seth Boustead and Will Rowe and run as a collective, Concept Lab is New York City’s only series featuring works in progress.

If you have an idea you’ve always wanted to try or are currently working on a piece and want to hear part of it or just want to write something new for amazing musicians, then we invite you to submit to Concept Lab.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Concept Lab will happen at the Rockwood Music Hall in Lower Manhattan and features great players from around New York City. Fixed media pieces are welcome, as are electro-acoustic works in stereo format, however composers must supply their own tech for works utilizing live electronics.

Every composer is allotted 10 minutes, including a spiel regarding what the composer is seeking to achieve. Ideally each composer would be able to be there in person to present your work but it is not required.
