Congrats, concerts, and indices...

Tunlings,

Congratulations to all the performers in the NY area for the MicroMay
concerts. I, for one, have really enjoyed the reviews/chronicles of the
concerts. Wish I could have gone. Johnny, I certainly *hope* these were
recorded, for documentation if nothing else, but maybe someday David
Beardsley could do another RealAudio-cast or some other way to spread the
sounds over the net. Just a thought.

AND! How about some thoughts from the West coast MicroFest? Kraig Grady,
even if you played and can't be counted on to be entirely objective :) how
was it? Anyone else attend?

`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Still in NYC, note that Newband will be presenting Partch and other
composers on:
Friday, June 4, 8pm
Washington Square United Methodist Church
133 West 4th Street, NYC

Program:
HARRY PARTCH -- *Barstow* & *Two Settings from Joyce's Finnegan's Wake*
*Barstow* for baritone, bass-baritone, chromelodeon, surrogate kithara,
diamond marimba and boo is based on hitchhiker inscriptions found on a
railing post in Barstow by the composer;*Two Settings from Joyce's
Finnegan's Wake*, for soprano, two flutes and kithara, will receive its
first performance in almost fifty years. (Note: not my claim, though it is
probably true - JS)

Also works by Drummond, Muhal Richard Abrams and Richard Cameron-Wolfe
Contribution: $10, Students/Seniors $5

`~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Lastly, I had to look for something written *way* long ago, when the list
was housed at Mills. It appears the listproc still can access old archives,
and I got an index that lists digests all the way back into the low 200's.
If anyone else wants to muck around, just send a message to
listproc@eartha.mills.edu with a body containing the word help and you'll
get the basic search and fetch instructions. All you need to specify is the
list in question, which is, oddly enough, tuning.

See ya,
Jon

Just back from microtonal performances in Moscow and Kazan (in Tartarstan).
More on this after jet lag abates.

Point of information: the AFMM has performed the Partch Joyce settings
several times in NYC and also in Zurich and Kreutzlingen, Switzerland. Do
these count?

Of course. Maybe the AFMM site needs a list of the programsgoing back to the
beginings of AFMM, in addition to the list of
works by composers that already exist on the site.

Only to concertorial bean-counters and marketing department studs. That's
why I put the original claim with a caveat. *His* inference was probably
"first time on *Partch's* instruments in 50 years".

But it also matters to people who want to hear the music, so I want
everyone to publicise their concerts, which is why I had the AFMM stuff on
the Partch site.

Oh, you're welcome...

...and welcome back.

Cheers,
Jon
