NCP – From The Margins
October 14, 2011
A quick panorama I took during a tacet moment of mine – Nouveau Classical Project rehearses for our performance of Bryan Senti‘s From The Margins, This, Unmentioned at Galapagos. Galapagos event page here, Facebook love here, and we also have an indiegogo fundraising page! Lots of hot stuff to be had. Hope you guys can come out to it :)

I’m not playing this concert but stopped by and took some shots of Friday’s NYU symphony dress rehearsal with my DerManDar panorama app. They’ve got a concert tomorrow at NYU at 8pm and they’re sounding great! Facebook event here.

I was doing an AM new york crossword and the ink rubbed off onto the table. Oops…
NFO is recording strings today. Gonna be a long next two days…
there are a lot of groups incorporating the name ensemble modern/e: or, be careful with your search query spelling
August 5, 2011
Hanging out in the library today checking out CDs – primary objective was to check out recordings by Ensemble Modern – however, I searched ‘ensemble moderne‘ (oops,) in Bobcat which yielded search results consisting primarily of recordings by a group called Nouvel Ensemble Moderne.
These CDs by NEM rock (as I write, i’m listening to a CD titled ‘Panneton, Demers, Lesage, Evangelista’) but I was a little confused that Ensemble Modern had all these CDs with a different name. I googled ‘ensemble moderne’ and came up with this - where Ensemble Modern’s english site was the first link. NEM appears later in the search query. The search results also include a myspace for a group also called ensemble moderne that is run by an accordion player named J. Kostov, which performs traditional Macedonian music and contemporary chamber music. Their stuff sounds good too.
That was confusing.
Upside of all that is that I discovered two new groups and found lots of fun things to listen to today. I may go see Buke and Gass at Prospect Park tonight, but I already knew about them so whatever. <3
Updating the blog…

… From my phone. Hello, Mass MoCA!
off to banglewood/rooftop music
July 11, 2011
Today, I played on a rooftop for friend Natalie Elizabeth Weiss, back from the Camp Wanatachi productions a while back.
Not perfect, but it makes me happy anyway. At the present moment, I’m sitting in my room 1) waiting for my laundry to finish drying, 2) attempting to clean and 3) packing my suitcase for Bang on a Can - 9am Peter Pan bus and I’m outta here, sucka!

It may not always be so; and I say
That if your lips, which I have loved, should touch
Another’s, and your dear strong fingers clutch
His heart, as mine in time not far away;
If on another’s face your sweet hair lay
In such a silence as I know, or such
Great writhing words as, uttering overmuch,
Stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;
If this should be, I say if this should be –
You of my heart, send me a little word;
That I may go to him, and take his hands,
Saying, Accept all happiness from me.
Then I shall turn my face, and hear one bird
Sing terribly afar in the lost lands.
