Anybody know about this concert / music?

List,

Just looking through the latest New Yorker that came today (hey, I sometimes get the feeling that a well-trimmed palm tree is considered a Cultural Asset in the little town I live in!), and I saw this in the concert listings:

Toby Twining Music
"This exotic vocal sextet, prominent in the downtown scene of the nineties, hasn't given a new York concert in two years. They return to perform excerpts from Twinings' "Chrysalid Requiem", a pure, liturgical Latin requiem sung in just intonation and influenced by Tibetan overtone singing, the music of Harry Partch, and a thousand years of Western vocal tradition."
[Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette Street, 239-6200, June 13 at 7:00]

Well, crap, it's already an hour into the concert as I'm writing this, but I hope if anyone went they'll report on what it was like!

Cheers,
Jon

***Well, I didn't get to hear this (I'm sure it was just great in
Joe's Pub!) but I did hear this piece when Bang on a Can presented it
two years ago. It's fascinating, and all the singers wear HEADPHONES
and get their pitches... Just Intonation as I recall, from a laptop
computer. Quite a prospect.

I wonder if that was during a 'training' period, or because the piece was brand new, or what. In any event, I found their website and might order the CD, which has just been released.

Cheers,
Jon

P.S. Hey, Joe, sometime write me off list and tell me about Joe's Pub!

***My impression, Jon, is that he *always* wants the piece done with
headphones to get exact pitch, so it doesn't seem like a "training"
aid...

I got the cd a few days ago...it's ok. I've heard more interesting
Harmonic singing other places.
