I've been listening to John Adam's Doctor Atomic. The harmony is grey, driven by ostinati. The orchestration is effective but not colorful. The story doesn't grab me. It may be a brilliant piece, an example of what Messiaen would call a "dark" masterpiece. I may be blinded by sour grapes from not getting the same opportunity to premiere a large work in a major center but yet, I'm bored. It's the Elliott Carter syndrome: I feel I should like EC's music but I don't. Somehow I feel I should… Continue

Your CDs for Mine
Dave Seidel posted a blog post "you send me yours I'll send you mine" which I think is genius.
I have a hunger to listen to new CDs and, like Dave, I'm willing to trade mine for any member of NetNewMusic who might be interested.
If interested send a private message with your mailing address and I will send you a CD plus my own address for you to send yours.

unfortunately ,even after 30 plus years of composing and music making i still have no CDs out and am somewhat at a loss as to what to do about it....anyway, best luck to you and your creative endeavors. daniel
I love the idea of trading CDs with other artists.
I hope you'll be able to attend. Please pass information about the event around to as many of your friends as possible. And send them to the website: www.bigearsfestival.com for complete information.
Thanks again for your interest and encouragement.

I did indeed get your music, but I've remiss in mentioning it here (except on Twitter). So far, I've listened to Sonatas 1 & 7. I particularly enjoyed 7, which I hear in relation to the idea of the Eternal Moment, though in quite different terms than the ones I employ. I really like the way the material spins out in its own time, plenty of room to breathe. Great stuff. Just one (really, one-and-a-half) listens so far, but I'll be listening to it again for sure.
Coincidently, I started listening to your Bach Partitas as I drove to work today, and I'm enjoying them. It's an austere rendering, with a lot of clarity.
(On a different subject, re Adam Frey's comment below, the Ives is great, but my choice for a best case for microtonal music would be the Kepler Quartet's recording of Ben Johnston's String Quartets 2, 3, 4 & 9. One of my favorite string quartet recordings ever.)
