Greetings,

The average musician seems to have an utter disregard for tuning out of the
norm. I do find it interesting as an indication of the importance of tuning
(in some form or another) that whenever someone shows me their piano they
almost always say, "Ah, but it does need to be tuned."

But my 'ear' has become ten times better from tuning experiments than from
all the years in sight singing classes:)

Thank you for the information about the Festival. There _are_ many of us
who are interested.

All best wishes,
Gordon Rumson
Pianist and composer

--> This is the average opinion of people, that are not knowing, what they
are talking about. Tuning is a more than 2000 year old science, which
startet with pythagoras and the ancient greeks, or even earlier in China.
The Tuning mailing list contains rubbish mails, but there are serious
scientists amoung us.

I had the opportunity to hear Jon Catler's "Evolution" which was sold out. It
is a Guitar Concerto. The string players move to rhythms they likely never
play, all following conductor Nathan Fuhr. It seemed that everything was
seamless, and finished at just under an hour. Due to recording commitments,
I had to miss Rod Poole's segment.

Jon's virtuosity on his special guitar is legendary. I could have wished for
my lines that might be set up between him and his performers. But this is
minimalism and it has its own aesthetic (and I am eclectic). Still, every so
often the audience was rewarded with some truly beautiful licks and segments.
Still too much vibrato for my taste, but after working on this piece for 2
years already, it is well-seasoned and ready for a CD.

Especially evocative were short, emotionalisms achieved through slow gliss
from microtone to microtone. Very human, and exploring an area of sound that
few ever visit, yet feel inside them every waking day.

Best, Johnny Reinhard

Sorry I didn't get around to this sooner but between the festival,
my business and my dad in and out of the hospital, I didn't get
around to commenting on this.

Minimalism - Evolution is not minimalism although there were moments.
Now...Blurry Day is quite minimal, I take a 1/2 hour to introduce the first 6
notes. La Monte Youngs Composition 1960, #7 is true minimalism, B & F#
sustained for a very long time.

Evolution is not only ready as a CD, it has already been released
as a limited edition CD. Try http://microtones.com

As for your comments about inserting your own lines into the piece,
this reminds my of the story about how a rock guitar player came up
to Phillip Glass and told him how he wanted to jam with the band.

I like Evolution more every time I hear it. And last nights introduction
of Jon's new band Swallow embraces the blues of the Mississippi
Delta and Hill Country plus the hard blues rock of bands like Cream
and Led Zeppelin. Swallow sounds like a classic blues rock band
that's tuned in 13 limit Just Intonation.
Swallow is so hot, you could fry steak 'n' eggs on it.
