Composers Forum is a daily web log that allows invited contemporary composers to share their thoughts and ideas on any topic that interests them--from the ethereal, like how new music gets created, music history, theory, performance, other composers, alive or dead, to the mundane, like getting works played and recorded and the joys of teaching. If you're a professional composer and would like to participate, send us an e-mail.
Record companies, artists and publicists are invited to submit CDs to be considered for review. Send to: Jerry Bowles, Editor, Sequenza 21, 340 W. 57th Street, 12B, New York, NY 10019
So, since I am new to blogs (I am not even sure if it is 1 or 2 ‘G’s), some basic, possibly inane, question have been popping in my head.Yesterday I was on the phone with my good friend Derek Hurst and told him that I started a Blog.Off handedly I said it seemed like a healthy thing to do, kind of like going to a shrink. He disagreed whole heartedly, and seemed to dismiss blogging as pointless, though I am paraphrasing his lack of interest in talking to me about the subject. We did agree that both going to a shrink and blogging are self indulgent. So what? So is eating a chocolate ice cream cone. Mmmm… chocolate…
