on being a good (musical) citizen

In a recent interview, a question came up in regard to the fact that I tend to do a lot of different things--write music, play music, run an ensemble through which I record music, help organize concerts and events like the New Music Bake Sale, etc.   I was asked, basically: why would I do this to myself?  After all, it's a lot of work.  Good question, I thought.

Cool things: Tristan Perich's 1-Bit Symphony

I first met Tristan Perich in 2004, before a life-changing performance of Michael Gordon's Decasia at St.

so cool.

meanwhile, in real life

I recently had the pleasure of meeting one of the other DCR finalists, who I'd previously known only digitally via dilettante.  The one and only Aaron Gervais was in New York, and we met up for a performance at Roulette.  Good times!   Nice to meet you in real life, Aaron!

Hi Sy, Nice to see you on here! You might not remember me, but I subbed with the York Symphony a few times many many years ago in the percussion section...was probably around 1999 or so. I hope all is well!

David Lang has some interesting thoughts on that here: http://tinyurl.com/2ffxjeb He says, "Now, everything can be gotten immediately and perfectly on the Internet for free. Every piece of Beethoven that you ever wanted to hear, you can hear it perfectly recorded by the greatest musicians of all time at no cost 24 hours a day. So why would you go to a concert? The reason why you go is because the act of seeing people struggle to accomplish something is the doorway through which people translate someone else's experience into their own.
