New book on the way from Alex Ross, music critic for The New Yorker. Table of contents looks very interesting!
I’m in the early stages of a project for @PercussiveArts and am working with the Music Technology Committee to compile a list of “significant percussion-centric repertoire that utilizes electronics.” Please see the link above if you would like to add pieces to the Google Spreadsheet to help us get the most complete overview and timeline. We have further phases of the project in mind, but this a starting point right now.
What does everyone think of the audio excerpt I just linked to? How many of you have seen in in person? What were your thoughts - agree or disagree with the comments in the nntv episode with Jason Treuting of So Percussion?
Looking forward to hearing some reflection!
A link to an audio excerpt from Steve Reich’s new Mallet Quartet (thank to Eric Willie for the heads up!).
