the show last night at kriya studio was a rousing success- very well attended by an appreciative and attentive audience, i think everyone walked away from kriya for the last time feeling enlightened. i especially liked the piece 'stones' by christian wolff- i'm not sure how much was 'composed' because it sounded and looked like an improvisation to me- maybe greg or toby could help us out with this one...
well, i still have a cold and am feeling run down- i'm going to miss my third show of the week tonight when i dont go see the engines, and i feel like an ass because the sweethearts at tick tick were good enough to put me on the half price list... but life goes on...

If I wasn't already going to Hades Town I would show up and say I was JB.

I liked the Wolff piece quite a bit too. I spoke with Greg about it after the show and apparently it's from a series of experimental studies called "Prose Collection" and is kind of an anomaly among Wolff's work. The instructions for the piece say that you can use stones of any size & a play them against a variety of materials, including wood, metal, etc. The key is supposed to be the sound of stone on stone however.
Although these "studies" can be a bit academic for my tastes at times, this one really appealed to me & immediately set off a brainstorm for similar concepts I'd like to try sometime.
