Hi all,

Please excuse the cross-post....

My piece "TimeWave Canon"[1] was played tonight as part of the final concert of the third annual Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon Festival at Concordia University in Montreal. I had prepared an eight-channel version especially for this venue, since the emphasis was on multi-channel electroacoustic music. I'm happy to say that the piece was well received, and it sounded great on their excellent sound system (expect for a low-frequency artifact that I was unable to hear on my home system -- but that was my fault, not theirs).

Of the many pieces played over the course of three days and five concerts, it was the only one that employed just intonation, and (as far as I know) the only one written using Csound and blue.

Thanks to Kevin Austin at Concordia for being a great host and encouraging me to prepare and submit the piece.

- Dave

Congrats on that . . .my 19-tet/JI piece Sand (http://music.columbia.edu/~chris/sand.html) was played on that festival last year, and sounded awesome on that system. They are a bunch of wonderfully wierd wacky Canadians up there, and they loved it. The other music on the program was also excellent. . . it was really one of the most enjoyable computer-music festivals I've been to in a long time.
