Concert Review: Composer Portraits Presents Andrew McIntosh, with Yarn/Wire – "As tension builds, the instruments seem to take on human personalities in a wordless poetic drama..." Jon Sobel has our full review: blogcritics.org/concert-review… #music @YarnWire

Born on this date in 1939 in New Zealand was Annea Lockwood whose 85th BD we celebrated last year with an interview and mini-retrospective featuring @YarnWire, @ChrisDeLaurenti and Annea herself performing her glass-breaking, piano-burning sonic ecologies. mixcloud.com/FlotationDevic…

Nice recap of the music portion of the @la_Biennale from @zwoolfe . There was so much amazing stuff there that unfortunately we didn’t have time to check out. :( nytimes.com/2024/10/22/art…

#BiennaleMusica2024 Il Premio per la “Migliore composizione” va a ORCHESTRA OF BLACK BUTTERFLIES di #LisaStreich. “Lisa Streich plasma un ambiente sonoro politimbrico di grande spessore, sfruttando anche elementi sonori non convenzionali. Dunque, attraverso un rapporto equilibrato tra forma, contenuti e durata, la composizione si esprime come evocazione e celebrazione di un messaggio di amore: quel forte amore eterno nei confronti di un’orchestra sempre più transitoria.”

#BiennaleMusica2024 | Day 13 After the round table dedicated to “strategies for documenting intangible cultural heritage”, #GeorgVogel seeks “never before heard tonic and tonal possibilities” for the electric clavichord at the Tese dei Soppalchi. At 8 pm, at the Teatro Piccolo Arsenale, the @YarnWire ensemble explores the “imperfection of familiar beauty” in #LisaStreich’s ORCHESTRA OF BLACK BUTTERFLIES, and recreates “the deep and dark blue of the sea at night” through acoustic and electronic sounds in #ZenoBaldi’s LAMINAR FLOW.
