More information about Gilgamesh EP
Over at my BandCamp site, we’re offering “Gilgamesh EP,” which features Gilgamesh Suite for prepared piano and ensemble, for sale to benefit Locrian Chamber Players’s future activities. I’m doing this not to fund my own work, but as a thank you to the group for premiering the piece, and for their continued advocacy for a wide variety of contemporary composers. Locrian’s programming aesthetic is catholic, and the criterion crystal clear: pieces must be a decade or younger.
File Under ?’s Tumblr page has a stream of the first movement from the Suite.
Listen here.
Hurray for Haas
The scuttlebutt around Columbia University’s new senior composer hire seems to be true. As Alex Ross reported on The Rest is Noise yesterday, Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas will be joining Columbia’s faculty sometime during the 2012-’13 academic year, replacing Tristan Murail, One revels in the possibilities, not only for graduate students in composition, but for the rest of us too; we’ll likely get to hear some terrific programs during his time stateside!
The Wellesz Theatre is streaming Haas’s 2011 opera Bluthaus in its entirety via YouTube (embed below).
Our friend Thomas Bjørnseth has some terrific musical selections by Haas on his Atonality.Net website.
“How Does Kevin Costner Keep Getting Work?”
Out now via Hooker Vision (HT to Steve Smith for mentioning it), a new tape from Kevin Costner Suicide Pact. And yes, this is much better than the band’s name might suggest!
Dinosaur Jr.: “Pierce the Morning Rain” (Stream)
Yesterday, Spin premiered “Pierce the Morning Rain,” a track from the new Dinosaur Jr. album, I Bet on Sky. The LP is out today via Jagjaguwar and, as this lead off track demonstrates (embedded below), it is both shredding and catchy as all get out.
“Ballad of Big Nothing” alternate version (BandCamp)
Kill Rock Stars is offering several alternate takes of the late Elliott Smith’s songs via their BandCamp site. Below is an embedded stream of a more spacious and vocally distant rendition of “Ballad of Big Nothing.”
