l'histoire' has a magnificent classy feel to it. some of it is very solemn. very heavy, very thoughtful, but certainly not heavyhanded music.

listened to the copenhagen tapes, among other things.

hope the big bander is available. it's on a portugese label, i think, with mainly fine young portugese players.

while very soberly jogging in 10 below zero temps a few years ago, the seat of the venerable aloc's running suit was removed by a hungry german shepherd, so aloc trotted for another couple miles or so in a seminude state. fortunately, none of aloc's hide was torn away by frostbite or canine teeth. aloc was not accosted, however, by officers of the law.

i hope to visit his gravesite, as well, some day. if you make it first, would you shoot a few pics? Of course (if no one finds that offensive ). I believe the name of the cemetary is Beachwood Cemetary, but its closer to Shaker Heights (where I think he grew up) then Beachwood. I should just mapquest it and go and pay my repsects. very near a golf course. albert was an exceptional golfer.

would be 71 today, and already gone so long. RIP albert was not a vietnam veteran.

about the johnston: i wonder if the conductor counts off the beats of music silence. i am quite being serious. a live performance would be interesting. planned measured silences in music can be powerful. i do hope we respect this powerful item, and are even occasionally moved by it. Since it is a quartet, the first violin probably gave the cues. i should be banned for such a stupid remark, although i have done worse.

the testy one displaying a mean creative streak.

splendid post.

who among us will start a silent thread of nonposts?

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. beginning of one of the movementos 2?-3?

what i meant was classical pieces with silent beats written into the score, but those are fine examples.

obviously cage's......

...but there are occasional beautiful moments.

Hey everyone-- I hope you might join us again for another backyard creative music bonanza at 594 E. Rich this Saturday, July 14th from 9 pm - 1, 2 am. The first one was great and we hope this one will be even better. We have as our feature, the return of guitarist Mary Halvorson and violist Jessica Pavone, this time making it a trio with guest artist Judith Berkson, a vocalist who has worked with Steve Coleman among others. Opening will be an ongoing performer of The Icebox series, chamber improv wunderkinds, The Giants of Gender. They've been touring for over a month now and they wanted to catch this show on the way back, so I said: well you're gonna have to either pay or PLAY!. I look forward to hearing how they've grown after playing for such an extended time on the road. We'll close out the evening with an open improvised music session hosted by OCMC (Outpost Creative Music Collective ). Musicians, feel free to bring your axe and play. When we say "open", we mean it. Where: 594 E. Rich St., backyard (NO RAIN LOCATION. If it rains, show is cancelled.) When: 9- ?? 1 or 2 How much: Please donate between the 5 and 10 dollar range if you are able to. All donations go directly to the musicians to support their tour. BYOB. ABOUT: Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone are a Brooklyn based collaborative duo that have been working together for over four years composing and performing a unique body of music, drawing from classical, jazz and folk traditions while experimenting with new forms. Their music explores improvisation and composition while utilizing amplification and electronic effects as well as acoustic presentation. The compositions in their current repertoire generally range in length from two to six minutes, with each of them composing separate pieces for the project. This tour is a record release for their second album, On and Off, to be released on Skirl Records (www.skirlrecords.com ) in the first week of July. Prairies, their debut album, was released in November of 2005 on the Lucky Kitchen label in Spain. (www.luckykitchen.com) They have been performing regularly in New York City since 2002, at venues such as Roulette, Tonic, Barbes and the Stone. They have also performed at several music festivals, including the Wels Unlimited Festival in Austria; The Other Half - a festival featuring emerging female improvisers in New York; and the Improvised and Otherwise Festival in Brooklyn. Since 2006 they have toured bi-annually throughout the East Coast, West Coast and Southern United States. They have recently received press in publications such as the New York Times, Time Out New York, Time Out Chicago, Signal to Noise, The Wire, and All About Jazz. "(Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone) listen as though they're hotwired into each other's brain their taut structural discipline prompting a domino effect of great ideas." - Philip Clark, The Wire "Their experimental instincts, sharpened by an affiliation with Anthony Braxton, commingle with a folksy lyricism; sometimes they even sing, without a trace of protective irony." - Nate Chinen, The New York Times Judith Berkson is a vocalist, pianist and composer whose solo performances are a modern take on the 19th century salon concert. Accompanying herself on wurlitzer electric piano, she alternates songs by Schumann and Schoenberg with jazz standards, covers and originals, approaching them in a way that is avant-garde and experimental in focus. She performs at New York venues such as Barbès, The Stone and Tonic and has played at the New Languages Festival, The Almost Mozart Festival and the Other Half; a festival of emerging female improvisers which she started in 2006. She has worked on a range of music projects both in the US and abroad. Her voice was the basis of Twilight, a multimedia piece by Hans Breder and Carlos Cuellar at the DOSA museum in Dortmund in 2006. Other collaborations include recording with Steve Coleman; Lucidarium (Label Bleu, 2003), Theodore Bikel A Taste Of Chanukah (Rounder, 2000) and the Delphian Jazz Orchestra (Freshsound New Talent, 2004). She has worked alongside improvisors and composers such as Vijay Iyer, Joe Maneri and Osvaldo Golijov. In 2004 she sang the American premier of Two Electro-Acoustic songs by Gerard Pape, chair of the Center for Music Iannis Xenakis in Paris (CCMIX). She also sings with Jacob Garchik's Yore, The Four Bags and avant-rock bands The Friendly Bears and Platz Machen. Additionally, Judith has been a Cantor for eight years and works at Old Westbury Hebrew Congregation in New York. *** "A singer who fearlessly attacks awkward intervals and boasts a range that's hard to believe." (Jazz Times) "Versatile and unpredictable, she mixes originals and improvisations with tunes of Schumann and other swinging cats." (Time Out New York)
