“Cabin Music” film and live concert: 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dairy Arts Center, 2590 Walnut St., Boulder. “Cabin Music” is New York pianist and filmmaker James Carson’s two-decade effort to transform the ways in which music is created and experienced by audiences. A childhood prodigy, Carson’s first orchestral works were performed by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra at age 16. His subsequent studies at the New England Conservatory, with giants including Cecil Taylor, Joe Maneri and the poet Robert Creeley, led him to a dramatic life change; he walked away from music to backpack overland from Spain to Japan, then built a remote strawbale cabin in the pursuit of creating a new form of music. Drawing from his isolated time in his cabin, Carson’s performances remove his own intentions by receiving and channeling all forces and energies within and beyond the performance space. This event includes a conversation with and performance by filmmaker James Carson. $10-$30, 303-444-7328, thedairy.org.
