Donald Buchla and David Rosenboom at Music Gallery (Toronto) in 1978 performing Plymouth Rock, Section V (Humanity).

The performance followed the release of the album "Collaboration in Performance" in 1978, recorded at 1750 Arch Records, Berkley (CA). This recording featured two compositions:

— And Out Come the Night Ears created in 1978 for piano and Buchla 300 Series Electric Music Box,

— How Much Better if Plymouth Rock Had Landed On the Pilgrims, Section V — composition originally created in 1969 for the earlier recording. The 1978 version was adapted for performance with two Buchla Series 300 Electric Music Box instruments.

Conceptually the new version follows the idea of developing a cellular pattern in a cyclical structure. As the story goes, in 1977, while spending the summer in California, Rosenboom had been trying to teach Buchla to play piano. Despite initial enthusiasm to learn the analog instrument, Buchla faced a certain frustration attempting to reproduce musical patterns with piano. The engineering mind sought optimization of the task. As a result, patterns from the Plymouth Rock were programmed into the Buchla system, releasing its designer from the necessity to reproduce combinations proposed by Rosenboom in a traditional fashion.

"The inspiration and theme for these six new compositions is 'Artistry and Motherhood.' The perennial question of whether a woman can be both an artist and a mother has been on my mind for a few years, having started a family myself in 2016. Important as it is, this topic is not often discussed in modern society, especially not in the frenetic environment of New York City. How did this life-changing experience influence our artistic vision and creativity? How do we fit into a society that still believes women must choose between family and art?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The women collaborating with me on this project have committed to be dedicated mothers while still pursuing their goals and dreams in music and art. The music stands alone on its own merits but invites listeners to examine the practical realities and societal position of the artist-mother. This project highlights the rich and diverse talent of each artist while giving us a platform to discuss how the challenges and benefits of motherhood shape our artistic endeavors." — Olivia de Prato

Nice observations from (a.k.a. The Obelisk) on ’s “The Complexity of Distance”, performed by . If it’s metal, it’s covered by JJ. Link in bio.

Many thanks to The Obelisk for the nice words about 's recording of "The Complexity of Distance." (And I think that the article is probably correct when it suggests that we're not likely to be hearing this one on top-40 radio any time soon.)

Suddenly, maestro Partch is everywhere. Or he was already there and we’re finally listening. New one out of the blue from Helge Sten. “Staggering, career-defining work from Norwegian vanguard Helge Sten (aka Deathprod), who drives relentlessly forward on this illuminating new tome, using Harry Partch's extremely rare metal and glass instruments to pen a major new work that’s been years in the making and somehow resets modern experimental mores. Truly one of the most exceptional, most unclassifiable albums we've heard in ages - one that does a rare thing of having immediate impact - only to further expand deeper into the psyche with every listen. If yr into anything from Harry Bertoia to Harry Partch to Hindustani Classical music or Michael O'Shea - it’s crucial listening.​“

Endless admiration for those who doing the hard work of giving us the tools to hear things anew. Well done!

As I emerge from the Partch PhD haze and begin picking up the threads of various neglected parts of my life, a welcome reminder of a project that I was involved in turned up in a 5000 (!) page review on the MusicWeb International website a few days ago…included above is the excerpt with me in it ! ( I am reminded of the composer’s 1950 piece ‘Vanity’)…the review discusses the release of Partch’s 1942 lecture and performance at the Eastman School of Music, with its audio meticulously restored, accompanied by a 70-page hardcover book, and produced by John Schneider on his Los-Angeles based Microfest label. Message me for links if interested to know more!
