David Beardsley String Quartet Radio Premiere

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.

I listened to some of it. So this is in 12 JI. Are there audio
examples on-line of a given work in 12 EDO AND in 12 JI? I would
like to hear both, one after the other, to try to determine
if it makes any difference to my (rather poor) ears.

Nope. Are you sure you were listening to my piece? The last section has
a microtonal cluster sitting on stacked octaves of 1/1.

David

Ok, I didn't know that. I'm listening now...

...I go for the rock/pop stuff, generally.
