June 15th, The Fog with Pete Hartley

Today we have a special treat with Pete Hartley as our guest curator/DJ, an exile from as he calls it, the center of the Universe (otherwise known as Brighton). Having known Pete for some time now I've realized he has an amazing collection of music on just about every form of media I've ever heard of. So I've asked him to guest curate our program tonight and he's brought in a wonderfully eclectic selection. Hope you enjoyed it...and he even provided a very detailed playlist (yay!...er, don't expect this from me :)

Catch you next week with our final installment of string quartets featuring Brent Fariss and Travis Weller from Austin.

Junr 8, playlist

And we're back-again, and this week we return to string quartets. I haven't been able to make it through everything I wanted to but I'm going to give it this week and we will probably return after a break to explore some other material. I'd like to explore some Habenstock-Ramati, Cage, Brown, Wolf, Feldman, Wolpe, Young, and others in a future show, so stay tuned for that.

Tonight though, will be slightly more up to date pieces. Starting of with Amazing Grace arranged by Ben Johnston, and then a return to the concert give by the Imbroglio String Quartet featuring the works of Thomfaricraw (myself and two other Austin based composers, Brent Fariss, and Clark Crawford), followed by a piece for computer and string quartet by Claire M Singer. And much more. Hope you enjoy, and stay tuned for some interesting shows over the next few weeks as I have some guest curators bringing in their own selections!
