Phil Curtis performed live electronics using Kyma for Anne LeBaron's opera Crescent City with the New York City Opera at the Vox 2009 Festival, at 3:30 pm on May 2nd at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at NYU. In a mythical city between two hurricanes, will the Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau and two lone cops (one of them a ghost) be able to save the city from the storm, the anarchic Revelers, the roving ghosts of murderers, and five ambivalent Loa summoned by Marie? Phil Curtis (referred to as "the laptop player" can be seen briefly in the video on this page generating what LeBaron calls "atmospheric electronica" to give the orchestra an "otherworldly sound".
