To all my colleagues in Musica Nova, today it begins. Wednesday and Friday, 1:45-3:30 in 514 and Kilbourne Hall, respectively.
Also check out the October 18th Concert Page.
You need to bring nothing but your bad selves, your instruments, and a notepad or notebook for taking some personal notes. oh, and toys, if you got’em. like, you know, noisemakers. It’s all good.
So, by the afternoon of October 11th, you’ll have a bunch of new tools with which to make music, and you won’t even know how it happened. Be very very scared. (just kidding)
I’ll give you all the basic principles in rehearsal, then i’ll post some of them here tomorrow afternoon as well. I just want you to hear them and work with them before seeing them in writing.
Want to hear what sort of music SoundPainting™ can produce?
Listen to this…
It’s from an Improvisation concert at the Bang on a Can Summer Institute last summer.
There were other completely unique and organic improvisations as well which were not led with SoundPainting™ , but rather from expanded listening.
