Daniel Wolf Article, Premiere of L'Ecume des Temps and More

Frankfurt-based Californian composer/experimentalist Daniel Wolf has written an incredibly nice article about my music and philosophy of music distribution at his blog Renewable Music yesterday. He makes specific mention of one of my favorite recent pieces, my Horn Trio.

The super guitar and violin duo, Duo46 will finally be premiering my piece L'Ecume des Temp at Cincinnati, Ohio - Madison House Concert Series : Nov 16. I've also recently transcribed the piece for Duo Ahlert und Schwab for Mandolin and Guitar. They've been performing Cassotis all summer long and it will be a part of their new program, "Nowhere Left to Go."

Three piano preludes of mine, #6, #7, and #8 will receive their New York premiere November 20 by the superb pianist, Daniel Beliavsky at the Sequenza21 Concert.

An electronic piece of 60 seconds duration of mine, 'Kali Yuga' has been selected by Vox Novus for performance at their New York concert this year, New York Minutes. More info as it's available... I can't put 'Kali Yuga' online until after the premiere, but here are two 60 second electronic pieces I made but didn't submit. They're both a little poppier than is usual for me, but some interesting transformations and timbres are involved. Gouttes is drops of liquids bouncing off of a shiny surface. Syrinx is named after a bird's voice box and uses formant shifting synthesis to create a crunchy bird-like percussive track to accompany the ambient slow tunes.

I'm finishing up a piano piece, which seemingly came out of the blue from materials left over from my recent Piano and Amplified Harpsichord (or electronic harpsichord), Marteau-pilon Épouvantable-Implacable. I'll probably finish it this weekend. My first big piano piece since DeltaBandResonator.
