This Past Week, 2: Trisha & Alvin

Toy Pianos (plus)

I just discovered the facebook group for toy piano performers so I thought I’d add a link to this audio and video. This is a piece for toy piano and glassharp that never got on my New Albion cd Song + Distance. It was recorded back in 2000 in Oakland by Myles Boisen. I am playing glass [...]

ARCANA IV

The new book, Arcana IV, has been released. This is the fourth volume of the series Arcana: Musicians on Music, conceived and edited by John Zorn. Last year John was nice enough to ask me to contribute something to this installment. After wracking my brain for a while, I decide to write an essay cal
