@fred and steveo, that 100% whatever pushed me over the edge into the Meek track which I was thinking of swapping out for Branca but a jolt either way...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:14pm

The first time I saw Glenn Branca was a shock. It was also the closest I ever came to dying, but that was unrelated

The first piece I did for the American Festival of Microtonal Music was Polansky's "Will You Miss Me?" on microtonal autoharp, which is based on an old Carter Family tune. I was also one of the NYC HMSL users, along with Nick Didkovsky, who still uses its successor, JMSL.

@Fred... just about everybody talks about their first time with Branca. That itself is remarkable.

Ruth had silver hair and blue lipstick, if that rings anything.

This gang is an offshoot of the Downtown Ensemble which has some relation to the Gamelan Son of Lion so you get that Indonesian crossover influence.

I have Glenn Branca to thank for first getting me into Sonic Youth. Also Rhys Chatham
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:46pm

@Fred: another crazy factoid. Sonic Youth first rehearsals were at Ruth's loft.

I never met Branca - although I bet he was over at A's at the same time I was at some point - but I used an interview with him as the basis of a piece I did in 1988:

I saw a band called Senyawa last week. Pretty cool instruments. An amplified tube that reminded me of instrument used in Madagascar and Timor

Ah, Henry. You dipped into that Cage/Branca feud!

Thanks, Fred. I just peeked at Senyawa, have to check that out.

@David: I can probably get you in touch with them if you're interested, but that would be on my own unconnected time, until I meet the right people, which could take hours or months
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:57pm

I only saw Branca twice, once at Tonic in the early 2000s and once (I believe) on the Lincoln Center property (can't remember which venue) a few years later.

Apparently Senyawa played at Pioneer Works so they're in our orbit here yay.

The original concert blurb promised "goofy/serious dance"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:26pm

"choreographer" mentioned so we're missing part of the show there
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:32pm
fred:

I already got a ticket for a dance performance set to Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians. I might get another if I can get a different angle
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:33pm
david w:

Yeah, Ridgewood TV just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:34pm
david w:

@fred: who was the choreographer that made spinning dervish dances to Music for 18? Tip of my tongue....
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:43pm
david w:

Laura Dean!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:44pm
fred:

@david: I'm such a Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker fan that I can't even think of another choreographer doing something with 18. There's a section I first felt as fast and now feel as slow, because of her.
Also: I saw my favorite dancer (Cynthia Loemij) slip and almost fall during that piece, but she recovered seamlessly. I can't even explain what that moment meant to me (or that dancer)

This Pauline Oliveros track is wonderful

Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever, Wed. 5-7pm ET):

That's because Kenzo is the love child of Pauline O and Wu-Tang Clan.

So, I shouldn't fuck w/ Kenzo?

What time is your show, Kenzo?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:53pm

@fred: de Keersmaeker no question, a treasure. The Laura Dean/Reich collab goes back 30 years.
