Found: Performance of Steve Reich’s Drumming from my residency at Roots & Rhizomes at the Banff Centre. This video brings back so many wonderful memories and reminds me of the great friends that I made through this experience. Hope you all enjoy this!
I’d love to hear when and where anyone else has played Drumming. I enjoyed Steve discussion regarding the kind of community that is built between strangers while preparing this piece…
Thanks to Jim Campbell for passing along this awesome TED Talk about Sound.
Found: I was very fortunate to participate in Mark Applebaum’s Metaphysics of Notation this past January. Here is a great Robert Arnold documentary that I highly recommend checking out.
New book on the way from Alex Ross, music critic for The New Yorker. Table of contents looks very interesting!
