ST. CLOUD TIMES — Composer Scott L. Miller is on the leading edge of what he anticipates will be the new way people experience music. The St. Cloud State University professor is combining live musical performance with virtual reality film and his newest work focuses on Quarry Park.
The world premiere of his piece titled “The Blue in the Distance” will be performed on campus by the new music ensemble Zeitgeist, based in St. Paul. The performance will also feature the voice of soprano Tracey Engleman.
Audience members will listen to the ensemble and Engleman as they don virtual reality headsets that will cast footage of the changing seasons in the park.
“One of the things I think is very defining about Minnesota and Central Minnesota are the seasons and how the landscape can really transform over the course of four seasons,” Miller said.
