T.D. Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Thanks! I saw this too late, was only able to catch the last 2 pieces. At least I got to hear the Lucier. I just signed up for BOAC e-mail list (duh, should've done it long ago), so won't get caught out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Lots of technical issues on this one. Lots. Some good stuff, though, as well as some that were more...mundane. I really don't need to hear any more anything's that start off with quiet long tones with or without multiphonics. A formula is a formula is a formula.

A formula is a formula is a formula. Even in the short time I watched (arrived as Ingrid Laubrock was being interviewed after performing) there were several AV dropouts. I've always considered BOAC highly uneven, and wouldn't expect to dig the whole program. I get your point about the long quiet tones. My personal thing is pieces that sound like Morton Feldman (or to a lesser extent, like Cage "number pieces")...nothing against the originals, which I'm very fond of, but please, no more soundalikes.

JSngry Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 Yeah, it's not "new music" when it does that, is it... it's popular music, no matter how small the audience is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted March 13, 2021 Report Share Posted March 13, 2021 I was notified by e-mail: Restored Version of February 21 Marathon Available Til 3/15 Tim here, on behalf of the whole team at Bang on a Can! Thank you so much for tuning in, for giving generously, for being part of this experiment in Online Marathon-ing. There were a few unfortunate blackouts in our last concert, so we went back to the live feed from headquarters and found that none of those issues originated with us (thankfully, since the performances are still intact). As we move forward with our next Marathons on March 21 and April 18, we hope to test all possible solutions, and fully expect to stream great shows without interruption. Remember that we're here to answer questions and generally correspond about all that we're doing to get back up and running post-pandemic. As always, we're looking to commission more than a dozen new pieces for the next (April 18) Marathon, and if you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to reach out to me (Tim Thomas). If, for instance, you want to partner with other Can Bangers and pool your resources, by all means let us know and we'll help you do some match-making! Again, thanks. And now, on with the show: FEBRUARY 21 BANG ON A CAN MARATHON RERUN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted April 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2021 I liked more of the music this time than the last, although, some of them seemed more like sketches than finished compositions. But hey, maybe they will evolve furhter, in which case, every seed has to get planted in order to have a chance to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
