(I didn't really know which place to start this in, as it could have fitted into a few) The programme for the festival is now available here (although not all of the website has been updated yet!) I'm quite looking forward to some of it, especially the vegetable instruments, but on a more serious note also new pieces by Sam Hayden amongst others. What do other members think? Is anyone planning on going? |

Is anyone planning on going? Yes indeed I am. To some. Despite the ticket prices. I might even go to the R Barrett gig. If he buys the ticket.  I might also go to the Carla Rees flute gig, given that 2 of my students (well, one ex, one current) are being performed. Oh, and Peter Veale gives me da horn, so the MusikFabrique (sic) will be visited upon by the time-sensitive from E-Space also... |

Shouldn't it be Christine Chapman who gives you the horn? I'll be popping along to the musikFabrik gigs as well. Don't know if I can make anything else. Haven't seen Claire Edwardes for far too long though. |

Something to look at tomorrow morning methinks.
Back to the score.

http://www.hcmf.andymayer.net/modules/amevent/?fct=vieweventinfo&id=78Wait ... of all the dumbass Gaudeamus things to rip off, hcmf steals the idea of the "Night of the Unexpected" (which has been a part of the Gaudeamus festival since at least 2001)? To be fair, the hcmf version looks much, much more interesting than its Dutch counterpart ... Still, I always found the Night of the Unexpected a rather, um, goofy and twerpy (and exceedingly Dutch) event. Anyhow, there's quite a lot at this yr's festival that looks wonderful, and there's loads of music I've never heard, which makes it all even more exciting. I'm really looking forward to it! I'm still trying to get my brain around the idea that I'll be living just down the road, barring any hiccups from the Home Office.

Careful, Aaron - you'll be deluged with requests for sleeping bag space on your floor if you don't watch out... |

At the moment, even having a place to offer floor space in sounds so nice that I'd accept all requests. (And, for the record, a sleeping bag on the floor can't be any less uncomfortable than the hotel bed I slept on in Hudds in '05!) |

Funny, after reading this last night, I received a brochure through the post this morning.
I think that the first weekend and then a few events scattered through the next Thurs-Sat look very interesting.
Also tempted by a couple of the Shorts.
I'll have to see where I am, what I'm doing and how much money I have...

Yes, in the past few years they do seem to have jacked the prices up a bit! Its an interesting mix of music, and I'm wondering what to go to. I've already made a list of about 20 things which I WILL be buying tickets for (bank-manager permitting, of course), but some of the improvisation and electrroacoustic/acousmatic things I've got absolutely no idea about! If anyone has any recomendations or previous experiences of some of these composers/musicians I'd be grateful to hear them |

What's up with being Dutch?! |

I'm a laydee!!Erm, it looks OK-ish. Nothing to get me really really excited, although that's partly because a couple of the things that do look good seem to be happening in London shortly before/after. Ens Mosaik looks interesting. I may have to be late for "the" musikFabrik's second gig, as I can't stand Andrew Watts' voice (or the pieces he's hooning). Rebecca Saunders seems to have half-inched a title from Richard. |

Rebecca Saunders seems to have half-inched a title from Richard. Well, in a sense they both trousered it from one Sam Beckett. I believe Rebecca did check with Richard before she called the piece that though. |

I believe Rebecca did check with Richard before she called the piece that though. It's sometimes surprising to find how easy it is to pinch a title. One could well assume, for example, that Tony Payne pinched Visions and Journeys from David Matthews's A Vision and a Journey were one unaware that he'd no idea of having done anything of the sort until I gently mentioned it to him, at which point he excused himself by observing that the younger composer only did one of each...
