Just got back from an idyllic if overly moist week at Tangle­wood, where Metrop­o­lis Ensemble & I recorded what will even­tu­ally be my next record. Tangle­wood’s concert season is over and the summer­go­ers have cleared out, so we were able to take over Ozawa Hall, the beau­ti­ful medium-large loaf of brick with which Seiji Ozawa immor­tal­ized his own ego. 

I will excit­edly spill all beans regard­ing this record­ing when the time comes. In the meantime I am learning sheaves of music for all these gigs coming up in the next month: Druckman with ACME! Derek with Derek! NOW Ensemble!

Nico Muhly has a good post up about how diffi­cult it can be to get record­ings of one’s music from orches­tras. You can not imagine how much I want every­body to hear Nightjar, but this is the reason you can’t. It’s espe­cially frus­trat­ing because in this case, the record­ing is really, really good, and it would hurt exactly zero people if I were to post it (except me, that is. I might could get sued!).
