A displaced Californian composer writes about music made for the long while & the world around that music. ~ The avant-garde is flexibility of mind. — John Cage ~ ...composition is only a very small thing, taken as a part of music as a whole, and it really shouldn't be separated from music making in general. — Douglas Leedy ~ My God, what has sound got to do with music! — Charles Ives

As long as we're on the topic
I've been posting a lot lately, but readership and response is modest, with the thinner summer readership already setting in. Should I take a break? If you find any of this worth reading, let me know (either via the comments function or email DJWOLF attttt SNAFU dotttttt DE), or I'll just hang loose for a bit, maybe compose some more or even (finally) get around to painting the window frames.
Why not take turns painting window frames and blogging. First one frame, then one post.
ReplyDeleteNice idea, but do you really think I could keep to such serial discipline?
ReplyDeleteI find it particularly interesting when you write about the music of various composers, famous or not e.g. "The Convivial Cage" and "Stearns." You clearly have the experience to assess and illuminate.
ReplyDeleteAnd if pressed for time, shorter is ok.
