Not much bread coming in lately and then the car battery died this week. So I dropped the price of the 200+ title discography to 85% off $169.69 thinking maybe some folks would want to help out. canary-records.bandcamp.com

I'm leading this pretty cool Composing Ecology weekend at Hawkwood, Stroud in June - a few days of listening to nature and making music in the most beautiful of surroundings. Does this sound like your thing? In which case, come and join me! www.hawkwoodcollege.co.uk/our-programm...

Now streaming: feast your ears on Evening Light: Raga Cycle I — the first chapter in a planned 8-album series, co-composed by Michael Harrison (piano in just intonation) and Ina Filip (vocals), with Elliot Cole (synth), Benoit Rolland (electro-acoustics), and Mir Naqibul Islam (tabla).

I got severely just-intonation-pilled a few years ago and have no regrets. As with a lot of things in music, working through tuning concepts systematically has made my intuitive experience much richer and more dimensional afterwards.

Tonight.

A moment of vulnerability here as a I announce that I have started a Substack. I am deeply anxious about putting out my thoughts out there like this, but I think this is a new way for me and for my social media world... aquantifiablelife.substack.com

"Feldman constructed his grand compositional labyrinths out of petite, pared-back melodic cells that you’d reckon might just be enough to sustain a ringtone. The grand scale of his music sat in inverse proportion to its notes." The genius of Morton Feldman:

NEW YORK - I am playing oud with the incredible Ekmeles Vocal Ensemble next Saturday 1/17 at the Church of St Luke and St Matthew in BK. I will play on Sinan Samanlı's beautiful harmonic-laden work 'Üç Anayasa,' which sets texts in Turkish and Greek by Cemal Süreya and Plato.

Hello out there to friends of microtonal music!

If you'd like this feed to continue after January 1, please follow.

A new must-read in Van: Georg Friedrich Haas is pushing microtonal music to its limits. My label just released his seminal, powerful Violin Concerto No. 2 with soloist Miranda Cuckson - and this article provides deeper insight into what drives the composer.

Send an email to people who's work you like. It's easy and generally makes folks happy to know people appreciate their work. Better than being paid in exposure points tbh.

Ellen Fullman & JACK at VMFA January 23 7pm free.

Essential reading this week with George Grella illuminating the history, collaborative magic, and diaspora of new innovators flowing from the work of Terry Riley and La Monte Young. We would add composer Michael Harrison to the mix — a longtime acolyte of both! daily.bandcamp.com/lists/terry-...
