So, New?
Jonathan Russell has a terrific review of last weekend's Other Minds Festival in San Francisco Classical Voice. Long-time S21 supporter and friend John Luther Adams grabbed some especially positive vibes with So Percussion's performance of his Selections from Strange and Sacred Noise:
Unlike many percussion ensemble pieces, which make the most of the vast array of colors and contrasts available in this family of instruments, each movement of this piece limits itself to a single color. Far from being dull, this has the effect of immersing the listener in all the subtle details and variations of this color in a way that I have never before experienced in percussion music.
Here at home,in the Composers Forum, Cary Boyce, Galen Brown, Larry Bell and Lawrence Dillon have all weighed in with an answer to the unanswerable question: what is music? Give us your thoughts.
