Everyone Is Everyone
MAGICICADA is the musical life of Atlanta musician/sound designer/photographer, Christopher White. Since 1999, Mr. White has been recording and performing non-stop. Each MAGICICADA show is distinct and unique, ranging from only voice and effects to multi-instrumental performances with collaborators. "Everyone is Everyone" is an organic, experimental work that blends traditional, as well as folk and eastern, instruments with found objects, samplers and field recordings to create a work that varies from delicate soundscapes to harsh electronic environments. The instrumentation includes (but is not limited to): pump organ, voice, contact mics on faulty electrical lines, melodica, toys, iron balls rolling on wooden floors, accordion, cellophane, air cans, tape decks for the blind, guitar, shruti box, MARTA (Atlanta's public transit), synths, oven door (percussion,) cellos, zurna, paper, frogs in the backyard, and the remains of Hurricane Denis shaking the roof.
