A little update here of some recent happenevents and miscellaneous bon bons of the past month –

First — I just love this (below). As someone pointed out to me, that’s got to be one of the best B-flats ever. Definitely top ten. Jonny lives in New Haven and makes beautiful music. (And he put this video up a few weeks ago.)

I just started school this week. No new saddle shoes or backpack this time, but I did get a fresh new tetanus immunization! The people here are amazing and inspiring, and it’s hard to sleep — so much to do and make…

Red Light kicked off on Monday at Symphony Space (Leonard Nimoy Thalia — can we just call it the Spock Room?). Nice Kozinn review in the Times. We played some modern[ist] takes on c[C]lassical music. Sciarrino recolored Gesualdo (Voci Sottovetro, 1999); Liam Robinson played around with Ligeti & others; and Scott Wollschlager, Chris Cerrone & Vince Raikhel took on a Mozart piano concerto (#9). (Ssh – Timo Andres even made a secret appearance in a de-re-elecronstructed recording of the slow mvt.)

The Bang on a Can Marathon in Philadelphia was super fun. All 12 hrs of it! Signal presented Lang/Wolfe/Gordon’s Shelter. We’ve got a recording of that coming out on Cantaloupe sometime soon. I’ve heard it sounds pretty sweet…

Last – I owe the wonderfully energetic pianist/percussionist Danny Holt $4.90 for my breakfast this morning, when I had no cash, like a loser.  His fun album “Fast Jump” can be purchased on itunes.  Some cool david lang memory pieces on there.
