The radio premiere of David Beardsley's (http://biink.com/db/index.htm) 30-minute 2004
string quartet "as beautiful as a crescent of a new moon on a cloudless spring evening" as
performed by Christina Fong (http://christinafong.com) can be heard at 11pm PST Friday
July 7th on KALW 91.7 FM's "Music from Other Minds" in San Francisco and also via the
internet at http://rchrd.com/mfom.

David's piece was submitted for a project initiated on the "Why Patterns?" discussion list.
"For Feldman" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F3T3PK) is second in a series
featuring previously unreleased works by emerging composers. This 96kHz|24bit Audio
DVD (plays in any DVD player) contains 4 world premiere recordings and the only available
release of 3 works by Morton Feldman.

One day after dinner, Morton was sitting at the kitchen table having a taste of water,
thinking about a carpet or two, when electricity discontinued. Sun set and awareness
gradually changed to wonder as he saw the beauty of the crescent of a new moon on a
cloudless spring evening passing by the windows. Many years later, Morton awoke on his
couch from an afternoon nap. Venus, the cat, leapt off the window where she was sleeping
permitting sunlight to pass through a glass reclining on a table. "That is" he thought, "as
beautiful as a crescent of a new moon on a cloudless spring evening".

This piece is tuned to the system known as Just Intonation, rational intervals from the
harmonic series.
