Acoustic Hygiene, Lunar Eclipses, and Orientalism
Scenes from the fall season's first salon of the New York Composers CircleBen Gambuzza (original article here)Yesterday, in a little studio on the eighth floor of the National Opera Center on Seventh Avenue, members of the New York Composers Circle (NYCC) met to workshop their music and learn about improvisation.

But then, Kaitila hit a memorably icy, glacially paced interlude which grew to an unexpectedly fanged, marching attack and back, an ascending series of quasi-tritones...
The New York Composers Circle Keep the Creative Torch Burning Through Troubled Times
The New York Composers Circle Keep the Creative Torch Burning Through Troubled Timesby delarueLast night at the cozy little Church of the Transfiguration on East 29th Street, the New York Composers Circle staged an intriguing performance of five world premieres and a New York premiere that featured a persistent unease as well as moments of puckish humor and considerable outside-the-box imagination.
Pianist Craig Ketter opened the concert with Hubert Howe‘s Moments of Uncertainty, which followed a staggered, increasingly spacious, warily Messiaenic call-and-response through a series of subtle dynamic shifts, some of them increasingly stark and minimalist.
