New Music
Lastly, I wrote about an hour of new music for band last year, and finally have recordings posted if you have that kind of time:
The Automatic Earth – Apocalyptic electro-acoustic music dealing with the climate crisis, geoengineering, and human re-engineering
Pendulum – Five-movement symphonic work commissioned by a consortium led by the University of Illinois. Each movement may also standalone or be combined in various ways.
