Saturday misc.
Non-Zero plays Eastern Nazarene College in Quincy, MA tonight. Works by Hillary Zipper, Lou Bunk, Alvin Lucier, and a Cage-inspired improvised time bracket piece for alto sax, percussion, and laptop that Tim put together. (He put the piece together, not the laptop.)
Other miscellany: Pretty good article in USA Today, of all places, about new directions in programming and marketing by some classical musicians, including the cellists Yo-Yo Ma and Matt Haimovitz. Combing the blogosphere, I stumbled upon a blog with a title resembling mine–only one letter different. Composer Marcus Maroney’s Sounds Like New. Give a look to Jason Hibbard’s blog with the Lucier-inspired title–I Am Sitting In A Room. And thanks to Matt Burtner for taking note.
