| The Program:
Curtis 2019 - Kurzweill 2600 synthesizer,
Live performance - 46 minutes and The Cold Hard Tooth 2020 - Alto-
saxophone / composer and performer-Live Performance 25 minutes;
Notes about Curtis; It is often the case that music is defined by
the development of thematic elements which tell a story; the sound
of the music is a part of the elaboration of a story, whether in
atonal, linear or nonlinear music; Curtis has no themes, but there
are many stories; these are not statements in themselves - they are
components of their environments; sound does not only sing or
harmonize - it is the substance and location of place, mass, and
flow - for the sound elements, representing field recordings from an
imaginary world earlhowardmusic.com |
