@aacierto @_narducci_ Ps hi @aacierto !

Ok, I think it’s time: what’s the best bass clarinet for tenor sax-playing doublers? Selmer? I think it’s time to start saving my shekels…

@aacierto @_narducci_ So personally i would steer away from older horns. I don't think there's any reason you can't get a great sound in a newer quality wooden horn if you put a lot of air into it regularly.

@aacierto @_narducci_ Just saw your FB post about this. You're getting good advice. Admittedly it's a bit my vibe anyway to go towards newer horns, but i would say that bass clarinets in particular have been much improved in the past few decades and are much more playable than the older horns.

Actually looks like this is happening! Thurs Merkin Hall NYC: new amazing expanded band and new music by Fred Frith, Tomeka Reid, Nick Dunston, Jeffrey Brooks, Aeryn Santillan, Trevor Weston, Soo-Yeon Lyuh, Annndd... a new piece by ME! Come if you can and otherwise live-stream:

I have been crossing my fingers that this will happen. But it looks like YES Bang on a Can comes to Berlin to collaborate with Sasha Waltz company. We're also doing our own music-only set. Very excited to be playing a row of shows at Radial System. Info: radialsystem.de

We have been delving into this work, taking apart some received traditions, and finding our personal way forward on this powerful piece that still resonates. roulette.org/event/anzu-qua… (2/2)

Very excited to perform the Quartet for the End of Time once again on Friday night with this stellar crew. There will be NO live stream of this concert so I hope you can come. (All vaccinated audience.). (1/2)

This was gorgeous, @clusterhocket - we just got back to the house in time for you to start!

@activecultures @NYUADArtsCenter @bangonacan @AmirElSaffar I think the convo with us and John got cut off.. but yeah it was a great experience and Amir was continually sending new drafts and we were sending files back and forth. Was great to work together. Glad you dug it; I did too!
