Better sans Baton

 X Note
<http://www.voxnovus.com/NM421/issue/postcard/13-06-01-Better_sans_Baton.jpg

> 


When Maestro Pierre Pringler finally hung up his baton after leading the
Steubenville Symphony for 58 years, orchestra members took up a collection
to celebrate his long - and, sure, some grumps said way too long - tenure.
They wanted to commission a colossal sculpture of the great man to grace
Symphony Hall Plaza. Unfortunately, their fundraising efforts fell short of
their goal - by rather a lot, actually - and they could only afford to pay
for a conducting arm and baton made out of HomasoteT by the East
Steubenville Reform School's shop class. But the day before the objet d'art
was to be dedicated, the baton was prized off and pinched. The police began
rounding up the usual suspects until the orchestra overwhelmingly decided
that the sculpture looked better sans baton.

Of Our 60 Times 60 II


Saturday June 8, 2013 - 8:00 pm 


Signs Of Our 60 Times 60 II vox novus and mobius present Signs Of Our 60
Times 60 II an evening of sound and video The 60x60 2010 UnTwelve Mix 60
one-minute microtonal compositions by 60 composers plus the premiere of The
Signs Of Our 60 Times 60 II Video Slideshow which features images by over
100 visual artists mashed with one-minute sound pieces by over 20 composers 



60x60 (2010 / UnTwelve Mix)

Vox Novus in collaboration with UnTwelve created a special microtonal mix of
the 60x60 project. In this particular instance, the 60 works will have an
"UnTwelve" slant, as the emphasis will be on music which explores tuning or
microtones. The miniatures we will present will all be part of what we call
the UnTwelve Mix--short works with a focus of the novel beauty of tuning
which escapes the rigid boundaries of 12-tone equal temperament, and the use
of microtones. All of these works are compelling and worth hearing,
including pulse pounding music, gorgeous harmonies, dark and moody
soundscapes, humorous vignettes, and ecstatic dreamworlds. 

Composers in the 60x60 (2010 / UnTwelve Mix) include: 
Monty Adkins, Sean Archibald, Christopher Bailey, Alexander Baker, Mark
Ballora, Cameron Bobro, Warren Burt, Ann Cantelow, Thomas Ciufo, Elise
Cumberland, Thomas Dempster, Phil Edelstein, Mark Eden, Robert Fanelli,

Composer's Voice Presents it's Fifteen-Minutes-of-Fame: Alex Sramek,
contrabass clarinet: 15 one-minute pieces by 15 composers from around the
world, writing specifically for this project and performer to be premiered
on this concert! Alex Sramek is a Los Angeles-based clarinetist, composer,
and purveyor of shenanigans. MFA from CalArts in hand, this refugee from
software engineering has recently made a playful nuisance of himself playing
in a klezmer/rock band, guesting with a drone/doom tuba duo, leading improv
sessions across Europe, teaching a room full of Clarinetfest attendees
grotesque extended techniques, writing minimalist songs for
obsessive-compulsive children, and thrilling unsuspecting guests with
impromptu restroom concerts. 

"Is he a beginner?" - Woman in Central Park, 4/2012, in response to
multiphonic improvisation 

Composers performed for this Fifteen Minutes of Fame are:
Rodrigo Baggio, Joseph Bourdeau, Michael Boyd, Andy Evan Cohen, Marissa
DePronio Dike, Jon Fielder, Ari Frankel, Fermino Gomes, Roger May, Berk
Ozdemir, Bettie Ross, Daniel Schnee, Juan Maria Solare, Lori Archer

 Electronic Music Midwest <http://www.voxnovus.com/img/EMM_logo.jpg> 


Electronic Music Midwest
<http://www.emmfestival.org/data/callforsubmissions.html> 
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS


Deadline: June 1, 2013 


Electronic Music Midwest is dedicated to programming of a wide variety of
electroacoustic music and providing the highest quality performance of
electronic media. This annual festival consists of approximately nine short
concerts (about 1 hour in length) over the course of a weekend in Autumn.
Our goal is to bring together vibrant and interesting artists of all forms,
give them a vehicle for their expressions, and a place for them to share
ideas with others. 

Since its beginning, EMM has programmed over 500 new electroacoustic
compositions. Composers have traveled from around the world to graciously
share their music with audiences in the Midwest. However, EMM is about more
than just playing new music. We strive to create an environment conducive to
building community interaction. Most concerts are approximately one hour
long, and composers have plenty of time to "talk shop" with each other as
well as interact socially with students and audience member

performance. Praised by critics for her "amazing musicality" and "flair for
drama," Ms. Johnson works to create a dynamic, captivating experience for

classical repertoire. Throughout her undergraduate and graduate studies, she
developed an interest in playing rarely performed and highly stylized works,
particularly music of the early baroque and late twentieth century.

Birthday Maestro Verdi." Compositions do not necessarily have to include
themes by Verdi or be imitative of Verdi's music; but should have some
connection. The composers can interpret this creatively. Submitted works can
be written in any style and use any technique. Works that feature the
peculiar characteristics of the piano are welcome.
