[May 14] Nu Mu [sic!] Unlimited 2009 Festival

2009-05-14T04:28:28.789Z

Nu Mu [sic!] Unlimited 2009, the world's first virtual new music festival, offers composers of tonal and non-tonal music the opportunity to exchange roles and create music for silent film clips to be premiered on our web pages October 31, 2009 (Halloween).

For details about this annual new music event and how you can participate, please see our FAQ web page:

http://www.deliansociety.org/nu_mu_09_faq.html

There are still places for up to ten primarily non-tonal composers, two primarily tonal composers, and three composers of any or no persuasion who simply have something interesting they'd like to contribute. There's no entry fee or competitive selection process: those accepted will simply be the first composers to declare their intention to take part through our e-mail link at the above URL.

There are plenty of fascinating public domain silent movie clips available on the Web from which to choose, and as long as you can produce your own mp3 or MIDI files, you have all the expertise you'll need.

We look forward to your participation!

[Dec 18] Guy De Bievre

2009-12-02T16:56:20.723Z

"The Relative Probability of Forming a Knot" (2009) is an open form, or flexible structure, composition; 'groove', 'stasis', 'long', 'slow' could be its keywords; it relies strongly on the element of surprise as performers are not supposed to 'rehearse' the work in any final form, but rather play it anew each time again without any common agreements; performers will be Peter Zummo, trombone; Guy Klucevsek, accordion; JD Parran, reeds; Guy De Bièvre, lap steel www.guydebievre.org

[Dec 19] Paul Devens

2009-12-02T16:57:26.560Z

This concert of Paul Devens will mark the release of his new album "Ink Summit" (on vinyl); the album contains eight compositions based upon field-recordings like the hum from air-vents from the streets, the irregular sound-patterns of branches, shaken by the wind, scratching a hard surface, the roar of a heating furnace, next to an extensive use of digital processing and modular sound synthesis; it researches the edge in between the concrete and a representation of reality as well as it encloses new and unheard sounds; a new and custom made approach to "Ink Summit" will be explored live during the concert at EI

[Jan 9] Jacob Zimmerman & Jameson Swanagon, saxophone & guitar

2009-12-09T16:13:24.383Z

Composer and alto saxophonist Jacob Zimmerman is currently a masters composition student at Mills College in Oakland. His most recent work has been centered around solo performances that highlight the various techniques and improvising strategies that have formed his musical vocabulary over the years. Guitarist Jameson Swanagon resides in San Francisco and contributes regularly to a number of rock, free music and jazz collaborations, while also performing solo finger-style concerts consisting of dense improvisations as well as tightly composed vignettes he thinks of as sad toys. Jacob and Jameson met while studying at the New England Conservatory in Boston under the tutelage of Joe Morris and Anthony Coleman.

[Jan 24] Continuum presents Chrysalis

2009-12-09T21:04:28.711Z

Continuum invites audience members to step inside the composer’s mind by presenting Chrysalis, Sunday, January 24 (2-6 pm) at Toronto’s Gallery 345. The concert / workshop led by acclaimed Victoria composer Christopher Butterfield is a rare opportunity to gain insight into the specific challenges of writing music, through discussion and performance. Composers Anna Hostman, Lan-Chee Lam, William Peltier, Chris Thornborrow and Hiroki Tsurumoto (selected from a local call for scores) will have works performed by Continuum’s ensemble. Shedding a light on the craft of writing music, the lively composition master class - a discussion between Butterfield and participating composers – can be described as a “behind-the-scenes” experience. The event also includes a performance of Butterfield’s four pearls for piccolo, violin, cello and piano.
