Oh my word, this piano piece is going to be so strange.
[edit] But sexy too... I hope. Please let it be so... [/edit]

Strange and Sexy: sounds like the title of Steve Mackey's latest CD.

I can imagine a piece by me called either STRANGE or SEXY, I cannot countenance their concatenation in relation to anything I will be writing anytime soon (but STRANGE/SEXY has a certain ring to it).
Turns out I'd made a little mistake with my calculations, so it isn't quite as strange as I had initially feared.
Still pretty odd though.

Just finished writing a piano trio. Which should almost the performers time to learn it before the first performance in just over a fortnight...  By the end of writing, I really started to enjoy the ensemble, both in its possibilities and in its limitations. But then, the piece could end up sucking total balls. If it doesn't, I think I'll make it the first movement of a multi-movement work... |

I may make a start on my piano concerto movement today - I've got all the ideas written down and the basic structure plus some ideas i had 15+ years ago so i should really get on with it (or maybe finish Le Chasseur Maudit first??)

Played through the opening chords of piano piece today.
Definitely what I want.
Very very happy.
I have no idea how the pianist or the audience will receive these chords surrounded by silence though.

Um, one at a time? Or how about - 'as a series of perfect and various gems, hesitatingly offered, warmly and lingeringly savoured, the consequences of whose inevitable linkage and structural adumbration can as yet only be guessed at'.  |

So what you're getting at, martle, is that they're not going to fart?

Currently creating a bullet-point outline of what I'm going to say to Mr McGregor in the studio tomorrow. It's not going to tell the Scelsi fans much they don't already know, I think - although I'll try to remove a few layers of obfuscation around who did what and when - but hopefully it'll be an interesting introduction and will tie a few threads together. Sciarrino's in there too, somehow: fortuitously but surprisingly (to me at least), his early Variations (1972) for cello and orchestra, which I didn't know before, are not entirely un-Scelsi-esque.
And, of course, half of it is choosing the extracts to play. Which in itself is an interesting task.

So is the Sciarrino you're talking about the new 3 CD set on Kairos? I have that on order.
