Meridian Music: Composers in Performance presents a concert by Eric Glick Rieman. Eric Glick Rieman will perform a notated and partially improvised work - "Love Feast" - scored for his modified Rhodes electric piano. The piece is composed using collage techniques which emphasize gestural events that are not modulated harmonically, but are occasionally transposed and modulated rhythmically. The piece will have three movements, including "Love Feast," "Foot Washing," and "The Holy Kiss." These titles come from the reenactment of the Last Supper, which is a ritual of his Anabaptist upbringing in The Church of the Brethren.

Performing on a variety of instruments, including the prepared/extended Rhodes electric piano (self modified), as well as melodica, Waterphone, toy piano, and piano, SF Bay Area composer/improviser Eric Glick Rieman performs improvised and previously structured music in several settings, both solo and in groups. He has performed with the Mills College Contemporary Performance Ensemble since 1999. He received an MFA in electronic music and recording media from Mills College in 2001.

"Rieman's instrument looks like a post-apocalyptic Rhodes piano; some of its insides are removed and sitting next to it, and it has all sorts of foreign objects crammed into it like shrapnel - with strategically placed microphones to capture the various sounds of it all...The range of colors that he got out of this instrument was astonishing..." - Jonathan Russell, Professor of Musicianship, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, writing in San Francisco Classical Voice, Issue 8/18-25/05
