There are limitless possibilities for electronic sound. Yet often the most evocative electroacoustic works are those whose source material comes from physical space. These are recordings of where people work, where people go to be alone, what people think of themselves and what others think of them. There is a strange, ironic beauty in using mechanical means to be more representative of life, of the natural world, and of our lived experiences. Output Device Not Found presents a collage of music showcasing disparate source recordings, from narration to fiddle tunes to Billie Holiday. 

About the Collective

Catchfire Collective presents innovative, powerful, and inspiring performances that reignite the chamber music experience. Based in Greensboro, North Carolina, Catchfire was founded by six graduates of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in May 2019. Equally at home as a sextet, in smaller formations, and as soloists, Catchfire’s members represent a dynamic background of artistic approaches and experiences, united in their common goal of offering unique performances that capture the ethos of twenty-first century art music.
