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

Composers/performers Eve Beglarian & Corey Dargel are joined by flutist Margaret Lancaster for an evening of idiosyncratic art songs and electro-cabaret numbers. The trio combines Lancaster's virtuosic versatility with Beglarian's heartfelt sincerity and Dargel's deadpan delivery as the composers swap lead vocals and take on each other's songs. The program features selections from Beglarian's forthcoming CD FlamingOs of the New World, Dargel's Born and Raised (a Lancaster commission), Less Famous than You, and some new versions of old favorites.
This concert is part of the series 1-2-3-GO! Visit the series' website and check out the other concerts, almost every Monday evening this summer.

Also, my song "Ten Frames Per Second" appears on Gentle Electric, a new compilation by NYC club mogul and dj Larry Tee.
