Episode 6 with Jack Adler-McKean
Jun 26, 201901:32:01Tap to summarizeI speak with Berlin-based, British tubist Jack Adler-McKean. We focus on the challenges of writing for the lowest of the low and generally held misconceptions of the instrument as well as its history. Here is his website: www.jackadlermckean.eu/ and a web link to Edition Gravis mentioned in the podcast: www.editiongravis.de/verlag/index.p…ean--Jack.html I apologise for my squeaky couch....but I hope you enjoy
Transcribe →Episode 5 with Lauren Redhead and Alistair Zaldua
Jun 26, 201901:40:03Tap to summarizeA chat with Lauren Redhead and Alistair Zaldua about their duo for Organ and Electronics. At first blush possibly an odd combination but if the organ was the original synthesizer the combination seems quite appropriate. Also discussed are the challenges of writing contemporary music for organ and the challenges of a fundamentally site-specific instrument. We then shift our focus to Composition as Research and the larger idea of the Arts in Academia. And we end on the uplifting topic of disillusionment.
