The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

This is phenomenal. Remarkable. Intriguing , compelling and brilliant. Completely rescues these pieces
Tonight.
A moment of vulnerability here as a I announce that I have started a Substack. I am deeply anxious about putting out my thoughts out there like this, but I think this is a new way for me and for my social media world... aquantifiablelife.substack.com

"Feldman constructed his grand compositional labyrinths out of petite, pared-back melodic cells that you’d reckon might just be enough to sustain a ringtone. The grand scale of his music sat in inverse proportion to its notes."
The genius of Morton Feldman:
NEW YORK - I am playing oud with the incredible Ekmeles Vocal Ensemble next Saturday 1/17 at the Church of St Luke and St Matthew in BK. I will play on Sinan Samanlı's beautiful harmonic-laden work 'Üç Anayasa,' which sets texts in Turkish and Greek by Cemal Süreya and Plato.

Annea Lockwood! – inspiring others for such a long time.
Once almost lost, this symphony is getting renewed attention. Composed in 1985, if that qualifies.

Just discovered this collection of free downloadable scores and writings by Christian Wolff, Lou Harrison, James Tenney, etc. Much thanks to the Frog Peak team with whom I've done much work in the past for Anthony Braxton's writings.

Hello out there to friends of microtonal music!
If you'd like this feed to continue after January 1, please follow.
A new must-read in Van: Georg Friedrich Haas is pushing microtonal music to its limits. My label just released his seminal, powerful Violin Concerto No. 2 with soloist Miranda Cuckson - and this article provides deeper insight into what drives the composer.
Send an email to people who's work you like. It's easy and generally makes folks happy to know people appreciate their work. Better than being paid in exposure points tbh.
