Universal Pallettes, After Party and Breakfast

Well, the day is here.  Welcome back from your break!  Tonight should be real fun…  I need everyone there for soundcheck at 1:45.  Running order of the program and the Universal Pallettes you’ll need to have by memory are on the October 18th Page.  Check it out, please.

Now for the fun part.  We’ll convene at the Strathallan after the concert, but whether or not you join all of us there…

PLEEEEEZE join me for breakfast at the Strathallan on Thursday morning at 9am, just before i drive on outta here.  It’s gonna be heavily subsidized, and therefore wallet-friendly.  Come chow down with me, say goodbye, and celebrate all the work we’ve done together.  I’m so so happy to have had some time to work with you.

I’ll take a count tomorrow night, i need one in order to ask them to set up a table, or three.

see you Wednesday.

A new look at composition and music-making.

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.

Listen to them here…
