The People United Will Never Be Divided
Happy Labor Day, class warriors. Lots of neat things coming up as we head into the fall season.
The nice folks at OgreOgress invite you to listen to a special online preview recording (semi-final version) of John Cage's complete 121-minute Two3 (1991), for sho and conch shells tomorrow (John Cage's birthday) afternoon at around 4pm EDT at contemporary-classical.com
Two3 is Cage's longest Number Piece and this is the first recording.
Marvin Rosen will be observing the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on his radio program Classical Discoveries this Wednesday morning, September 6 from 6:00 to 11:00 am. The program titled "In Memoriam" will be totally devoted to works written in memory of the victims of this horrible disaster. The program can be heard on WPRB from Princeton, NJ.
Jen Stock of Soundbook One is curating what looks at great concert this coming Saturday at 3 pm in Washington Square featuring work by Paul Lansky, So Percussion, Luke DuBois, Joan La Barbara, Daedelus, Jerseyband and Carl Stone's Acid Bop.
Carl Stone is one of the pioneers of live computer music, and his music is rarely heard on this coast. Daedelus is another West Coast-based experimental electronic composer. Jerseyband is an experimental rock ensemble that fuses heavy-metal sounds with jazz instrumentation. They'll play a solo set and a collaborative set with So Percussion. Joan La Barbara is a well-known composer, performer, sound artist, and pioneer of a broad vocabulary of extended vocal techniques. Luke DuBois presents selections from Timelapse (Cantaloupe) and a live electronic set. Paul Lansky, well, you know who he is. So Percussion will play new works from the its upcoming album Amid the Noise (Cantaloupe), featuring original compositions by ensemble member Jason Treuting and Lansky's "Threads.”
The concert is free on the Southeast Plaza Stage, Washington Square Park unless it rains in which case it will be at the Gallery @ King Juan Carlos Center, 53 Washington Square South.
