Chuck Nessa Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 I usually find lists like this both interesting and maddening - 5 Minutes That Will Make You Love Percussion But since I recorded one of the pieces... Quote
JSngry Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 But, Chuck, I ALREADY love percussion?!?!?!?!?! Still, Roscoe on there twice...like seeing that! Quote
HutchFan Posted June 2, 2021 Report Posted June 2, 2021 Nice to see Chuck's work on there! And Roscoe twice! My one beef: No Afro-Latin music on list about percussion? What's up with that?! JK But only sorta. Quote

Eric B Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 “The Maze” encourages the performers to collaboratively interact with all the traditionally and graphically notated materials in a manner that problematizes separatist notions of “improvisation” and “composition,” cultivating a sonic universe in which such a binary never existed in the first place. Love to problematize separatist notions Incidentally, I had the privilege of seeing Douglas Ewart with Irreversible Entanglements at the Walker in Mpls last night. He really elevated the set. Quote

JSngry Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 I get it - composition vs improv has been thought of as separate disciplines, you do one or the other, and/or you bring one to the other. Roscoe "problematizes" them by asking that the players don't think in those binary terms, to improvise the composition while composing the improvisation, not either/or, both and, or more accuately, just "one thing". If you look at "problematizing separatist notions" as simply "shaking it up" then maybe that's a more "earthbound" way to look at it. But not nearly as descriptive and actual. Actually doing things with a purpose...you figure that out on a granular level if you really want to do it yourself, "Impressions" are not going to get you to doing it! It's a maybe inartful phrase (but maybe it is quite artful!), but that's what he means - realigning the mindset of "what are we doing with this"...and quite relevant to Sorey's own work. Quote
rostasi Posted June 4, 2021 Report Posted June 4, 2021 I was so in love with this record growing up (as well as Stockhausen’s Zyklus). Quote
