seats are filling fast

Greetings!

The "dark concert" (this Saturday night at 8pm) is filling up fast. *We have
8 seats left*.....if you are planning on attending, it would probably be
advisable to not wait any longer. *You may get shut out by Saturday!*

A repeat of the info:

UnTwelve 2010 composer's competition winners "dark concert"
Sturday, Jan 29th @ 8pm
The Schipporeit House (Anderson residence)
1225 Asbury Ave.
Evanston, IL
RSVP: events@...

Please arrive slightly early (7:45pm) so we can get you seated and explain
the procedure for the night.

A modern cement 3-story and 2-subfloor residential structure with beautiful
clean lines, the Schipporeit House was built by Shipporeit-Heinrich and
associates, the same firm to build Chicago's famous Lake Point Towers. The
house contains a wonderful 'media pit' with surround sound acoustics and can
seat 30 comfortably. In addition, the room can be made totally pitch black
so that sound concerts take on an extra-sensory aspect not afforded by a
more traditional public venue. The experience is akin to a
sensory-deprivation tank, and music takes on extra vividness and becomes
rich with synaesthetic association. The experience is not easily forgotten.

We will be featuring the following music on Saturday's concert:

winners:
1st prize ($500): Monroe Golden (USA)- Incongruity
2nd prize ($250): Soressa Gardner (USA)- Mayne at Midnight
3rd prize ($150): Igliashon Jones (USA)- Persephone Descends
finalists:
David Snow (USA)- Etudes for Imaginary Harp
Joseph Post (USA)- US Gold
Shaahin Mohajeri (Iran)- The battle of Ahuramazda and Ahriman
Martin Loridan (France)- brume, espace, temps...
James Wyness (Scotland)- a dissolving view
Donald Craig (USA)- Study in 31
Ann Cantelow (USA)- Lu Dong Bin's Dream

We will be asking for a suggested donation of $15 for the concert plus a
post-concert wine and cheese spread to celebrate the recent non-for-profit
501(c)3 status of UnTwelve. If you wish to just stay for the concert only,
we are asking for a suggested donation of $10 dollars.

We look forward to seeing you there!

I'll reply to this because it's recent and it lists the
competition winners. I remember a message, probably in
another place, about searching for music by people who come
up here. This is how I'm doing.

A search brings up this site:

http://monroegolden.com/

There are links for downloads, which I believe are to pay
sites. I happen to know, however, that CD Baby tend to
double with Emusic, and I subscribe to that. I found "A
Still Subtler Spirit" there. I had to "buy" the whole
album to get the two explicitly microtonal tracks. I have
managed to trick Emusic into letting me do that. I'm
listening to the second one now. I'll have to listen more
times to get a proper opinion.

So far so good. But I'm interacting with him as a
customer, not a member of a community. I can't even find
anything about tuning. Somewhere on my travels I found
this page:

http://www.voxnovus.com/60x60/2010_UnTwelve_Mix.htm

It has the program notes for the 60x60 mix from last year.
That mentions "an overtone-based collection representing
partials 6-27" so I'll assume JI. But there's no advice
that I can use or ignore in my own music.

> 2nd prize ($250): Soressa Gardner (USA)- Mayne at Midnight

I found this site:

http://www.soressa.com/

It lists projects, and they have some kind of videos. Last
night they weren't working at all, but to day something is,
and it says YouTube. I know all about that, and I know it
does work for some people. In fact, it's working for me
today! I'm intermittently getting a video, the way YouTube
generally works on normal connections. I know there's a
way of tricking YouTube into giving you downloads, but I
haven't looked into it, so this is the best I can get.
Frankly, I don't have much idea what it would sound like as
music, unless it's supposed to be a post-Webernian
pointillist thing.

I know the recommended solution of course: move to a big
city in North America.

> 3rd prize ($150): Igliashon Jones (USA)- Persephone

Well, we know him, of course.

From the 60x60 page, Robert Fanelli looked interesting.
This is the most promising link:

http://www.myspace.com/wunderbandnyc

Is it the same Robert Fanelli? I don't know. There's an
album from 1997 on Emusic.

I could keep looking, and maybe I will. But this is
turning into a lot of work for not much result. These much
abused mailing lists are so far doing a much better job of
delivering reasonably good microtonal music to me.

I'm happy to play the 60x60 mix in my bedroom on a CD
player I borrow from work if that means I can get my hands
on the CD. I'm guessing it won't constitute a
"performance" though.

I got Subtler Spirit and Alabama Places in 2008.
They're kinda neat.

Your browser cache will have them. Usually the biggest /
most recent thing in there if the video's just finished
loading in their player. VLC should play them.

Chances are there's a plugin for his browser which would take care of the downloading.

Certainly there's a plugin. But of all the things I could
be doing with my time, checking it out and installing it
hasn't bubbled up to top priority yet.
