After announcing the SW Chamber music concert, it occurred to me that I
should announce one of my own. The concert is part of the annual
Ussachevsky Memorial Electroacoustic Music Festival and takes place this
Saturday, Feb. 13 at 8:00 in Lyman Hall, Pomona College, Claremont
California (about 25 miles east of downtown LA). It will include a piece of
mine, In-yo, for shakuhachi and tape, performed by Bill Shozan Schultz.

In-yo is in just intonation, and the tape was realized with Csound. For
those of you interested, the first half of the piece uses pitches from the
set:
1/1 21/20 10/9 7/6 4/3 3/2 11/7 7/4 2/1
and the second half:
1/1 9/8 5/4 21/16 11/8 3/2 7/4 2/1

The program also includes two pieces in JI by Kyle Gann.

Other composers on the program include Chin-Chin Chen, Samuel Pellman, and
Daria Semegen, though I don't know if any of their pieces make use of
alternative tunings. You can contact me for more information or call the
department of music at (909)621-8155.
