>The sfSound Orchestra will be performing 3 of Morton Feldman's "box
>notation" pieces for orchestra from the 50's:
>
> "Marginal Intersection" (1951), "Intersection #1" (1951),
> and "Atlantis" (1959).
>
>This is a rare opportunity to hear these experimental-music classics,
>as they are rarely performed. In fact, no commercial recording of
>"Marginal Intersection" [scored for winds, brass, percussion, strings, 2
>oscillators, and sound effects of riveting] yet exists.
> [supposedly one is coming out this year on Mode]

>Morton Feldman's early "box notation" pieces from 1951 were written at
>the age of 25, soon after Feldman began associating with John Cage
>in New York. The music contains some characteristics of Feldman's
>well-known later works, but with a much more experimental
>approach. These works, often cited as some of the first examples of
>graphic notation, can be at times loud, dense, and fast -- musical
>elements not usually associated with Feldman! "Atlantis" for orchestra
>(1959) is one of Feldman's last works to use graphic notation.
>
>In addition to the Feldman pieces, the sfSound Orchestra will perform an
>improvisational new work to compliment [and contrast] the Feldman pieces.
>
>BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
>All this is only ONE HALF of the evening's music! The Mills College
>Contemporary Performance Ensemble [directed by Fred Frith] will
>also be performing a full set of new music.
>
>We hope to see you there - this is an event not to be missed!

>The sfSound Group is a San Francisco based New Music Ensemble.
>This all-star group, containing some of the Bay Area's finest
>composer-performers, is dedicated to presenting concerts that lie
>somewhere among the complexities of music that are traditionally
>composed, radically improvised, noisily sonificated, and collectively
>realized. Augmented with additional players to create a chamber
>orchestra for this performance, the sfSound "Orchestra" will be led
>by stopwatches and musical director Matt Ingalls.
