• Tom Johnson interview; Pauline Oliveros article

    From CSA Jason Gross@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 31 19:26:24 2020
    Greetings,

    In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index0820.html>, you'll find (among other things):

    TOM JOHNSON
    Interview- minimalism explained?
    "Johnson composes with mathematical structures and patterns that develop in a systematic manner. His interest in developing compositional methods from mathematical techniques is long-standing; as early as 1967, he'd written a paper on processing melodies
    through a Markov chain. His effort to articulate the theoretical side of his composing is another long-standing interest"

    PAULINE OLIVEROS/REYNOLS
    Avant composers go virtual by Alan Courtis
    "As with all the projects I've done with Pauline, it was a powerful and meaningful experience. Considering it from its metaphoric corner, the Telematic Concert was not just a concert, but an attempt to communicate beyond all physic barriers. And despite
    that fact that Pauline is not physically here anymore, I'd say I'm still in touch with her. Maybe now there's only just some extra latency."

    We also have a Spotify playlist with most of the artists above here: <https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4dk9Z16JIptNxE8heESMWr?si=Jt41ItoXSKiy_sJyF4_FNQ>

    We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

    See you online,
    Jason
