See you on Tumblr!
We’ve had a Tumblr for a while but only recently started using it more regularly…and it turns out that it is a better fit for our blogging needs. So check out our blog here from now on. See you!
Branching Out: the Struggles and Successes of a Classical Composer
Jay talks about struggling and making it as a composer. He just received the prestigious Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, so we hope that gave him more reassurance!
Hear Jay’s ‘Things My Father Never Told Me’ at Amped/Electrified on March 10 at Issue Project Room, an installment of MATA’s Interval Series. Tickets here.
VOTE!
This weekend taught us not only to be sane, but to give a damn! Don’t forget to vote everybody!
This Week
…has a lot going on! It’s been a busy week so far…last night we hit a couple parties with our friend Charles at NYLON, including the Mulberry Glastonbury Book Party at Milk Studios, where we were able to catch a great performance by Kelis. What we’re really excited about, though, are:
-the Keys to the Future Festival at LPR
-SIGNAL at Merkin Hall
-the New York Premiere of Ligeti’s le Grand Macabre at Avery Fisher!
So now that you know, throw on your chicest concert-going outfit (translation: something that’s NOT boring) and don’t miss out!
P.S. We’d love to hear your thoughts if you hit any of these…give us a shout on Twitter.
Mu-illiard?
The shiny and new Juillard Bookstore reminds us of Muji with it’s clean, white aesthetic. The rounded shelves look like they could be found at CB2. Very cool, makes us want to buy piles of scores and books and CDs (we still need a little bit more convincing to buy a ton of Juilliard paraphernalia ;) …if they made a super chic iPod case or canvas bag, maybe…).
TFF Filmmaker Party @ Apple Store SoHo
Went with Bryan Senti+FOMP. Bryan did the music for Lucky Life, which we’re going to see after dinner tonight. Please check out the film!
No one looks good from this angle. What were you guys thinking

Glassworks NY Premiere (really) at LPR
We, too, were surprised that this quintessential Philip Glass piece (for God’s sake, it’s called GLASSworks!), composed in 1981, was a NY premiere. Enjoy these photos of Signal (super tight, on-point ensemble with a really eclectic repertoire) with Michael Riesman (=teddy bear, as demonstrated by the sensitivity with which he played the Glassworks opening), taken with a Droid Eris Smartphone.
