sen_no_ongakuObservation: Opening a musical score in a roomful of composers is like dropping a magnet into a pile of iron filings.
Of note: John Mayrose. Kick. Ass. I'm jealous. And he didn't make it into the Bang on a Can Summer Institute, from which I was also rejected. That's intimidating.
An indescribable piece involving a pianist, a bike helmet, and a neck brace. I'll try to get the DVD from the fellow when I get the chance. Hilarious -- but deeply disturbing for all kinds of reasons. Like a piano recital given in a mental asylum.
I just finished my workshop with Robert Kyr. Even though he had only about 20 minutes to comment on my music, his advice and insights were very helpful indeed. I played Arrhythmia and the second movement of my Three Sketches for him, which felt kind of strange -- in my estimation, anyway, I'm not really doing that kind of thing anymore. Nevertheless, his suggestions were right on.
More composer presentations until 10:30pm tonight, then more in the morning. After that, there will be a bit of a break, during which I'll finally have the chance to visit the university art museum. Then, at 4:30pm begins a two-part performance of J.S. Bach's Christmas Oratorio (with a break for dinner), which I've never before heard.
Thankfully, I am done with any further responsiblities until Skyful of Junk is workshopped on Friday afternoon.
