Indeed - it seems that way. But i had a breakdown in 2003, and for five months lost entirely the ability even to listen to music (to clarify that, i could *hear* music, but it was just another noise, with no emotional affect at all. Which made me re…
Actually, Mr Harrington, i have no desire to do anything of the sort - i missed entirely whatever contretemps you had with Mr Morabito (i check in fairly regularly, but due to timezones it all happened while i was in bed), so i wasn't being either p…
Same here - i'm organising a big project this weekend with Simon Fell, who works at the boundary between composition and improvisation, and the first violin is really worried about doing it, as he's "never done this sort of thing before". I told him…
I guess it is now the weekend you are playing this, but I've played this piece on a number of occasions. It is considered on of the classic graphic scores and for good reason IMO. I've played a lot of different graphic scores and I think that this i…
Derek Bailey's first solo album had the advisory on the back: "File under 'Popular - but not just yet' "
i'm proposing to do Earle Brown's 'December 1952' with a group this weekend - has anyone here done it previously, and if so, any thoughts/tips/pitfalls to pass on?
I'm not in academia, so if there's an academic consensus about the work, i'd be inte…

yeah - i got £2.65 this year for an album i did with Glenn Weyant (which got played on local radio here in Liverpool). Oh yeah, Glenn, i forgot to tell you about that. I owe you £1.32 and a half pence. I'll pass it on if we ever meet...

nothing whatsoever - however, any such connection is necessarily partial: only music is like music, and given that various musics are often unlike each other, not always that.
So - the implication seems to be that improvisation should have no part…
so maybe you shouldn't compare music to architecture?
It fits where you need it to (and in a different place for everybody)!
But my opinion is that improvisation is about the only place in modern composition where there's still some territory up for grabs, where you're not just treading in others' foo…
i do hope everyone has checked out

and pledged Glenn/No Mas Muertas a few $$$ - experimental music lives in a bubble sometimes, and this is a brilliant way, imo, of connecting with the…

Paul Ramsay said… - hello phil,
welcome to netnewmusic!
I run a sound art/music project called Consemble and wondered if you would be interested in taking part? More information (and some pieces to listen to) starting at www.chameleonlectra.co.uk/Consemble.html
Questions/feedback welcome. Some sax would be very interesting (I am involved in improvised music myself).
all the best,
Paul
