Date: 2008-04-30 03:35 Subject: New England Metal Fest 2008 Summary Security: Public

Megadeth are consummate professionals and always an awesome show live. This was no exception. Chris Broderick was on guitar.

Meshuggah are the greatest band playing today. I'm convinced that Nothing will be looked back upon as the great landmark of heavy metal. This was one of the greatest sets I've ever seen even if it was only 45 minutes.

Behemoth were super disappointing. They were way better when I saw them on Gigantour two summers ago in Wisconsin.

Dimmu Borgir had a great set list. MUCH better than when I saw them 5 years ago at the Palladium when they only got around to playing decent tracks during the encore. Their video was SUPER cheesy but most of the crowd looked like they played Warcraft so...

Overkill cancelled.

I missed Arsis because the schedule was completely changed on Saturday due to Overkill cancelling. I was not happy about this. Good thing I've seen them a ton of times already.

Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza were nowhere near as good as they are on disc.

The Pagan Fest bands were all pretty terrible but after Eluveitie, who were unlistenable, I had a really great time in the pit as there were no spin kick ninjas to be found.

Divine Heresy cancelled.

I missed Unexpect and Veil of Maya because they both played too early.

Disfear played a one-off show Saturday night that harkened the old days of 80s thrash - unreal.

I stayed with Jason from IKILLYA and hung with HUNG all weekend which was good times.

I met Aub Driver who is an amazing guy and is going to put me in touch with Ballet Deviare to discuss doing a piece for them.

I had lunch with Iann Robinson which was great. He's really cool and also thinks that Metalocalypse is not funny.

I saw Derrik Albertelli, Jeremy Saffer, Dani (who made it a point to tell everyone she introduced me to that I'm a musical genius. Thanks, Dani! lol), Genaro (Goomer), Casey Sabol and Kyle Rose.

Met Kim, Caitlin (who were hilariously awesome) and some of their friends, Kyle's brother and bunch of people who thought my Twodeadsluts Onegoodfuck shirt was the best of the entire fest. I'm inclined to agree :)

In other news, I bought 4 guitars and a VHT 2/90/2 last week. I'll post pictures.

I recorded one of Kayo Dot's new songs with them in my studio last night. It was awesome.

For those of you who are unaware, Kayo Dot are a large (as amplified ensembles go) avant-garde group that grew out of Maudlin of the Well and are now signed to John Zorn's label Tzadik. They are one of the very few bands currently making music that I think is worth listening to.

It was crazily cramped as the new production facility I'm putting together with Steve, while progressing nicely, is not yet finished.

In other news, I will finish mixing and mastering my ground breaking 50 minute hyper-dense spectral piece, Peabodrone, in both stereo and quad versions within the next two weeks. I've been asked to give a preview performance of it at Peabody so keep an eye out for that if you're interested.

Thanks to everyone who came to the show on my birthday.

The semester is over. I'm flying to Mizzerah in a few hours to get my car and go to the wedding of one of my high school friends. I'll be back in time for Maryland Death Fest. A bunch of ppl are coming in from out of town so it should be awesome. The Monday afterwards (Memorial Day), Dysrhythmia and Behold the Arctopus are playing in Fredericksburg.

Then I'm moving to northern New Jersey to live with Pam (unbound_spirit)'s family for the summer. I'll have good access to NYC so I expect to see all my NYC ppls with some frequency (thank gawd as you are all amazing) and access to Boston should be improved. I'll be in and out of Baltimore for lessons, department renovations and sessions.

Speaking of work, I have a ton of stuff quickly shaping up including new works for voice and electronics (one is for Pam), flute and electronics (for Mindy), an hour long noise/feedback piece, the final draft of my first Symphony for String Orchestra (Echoes of Different Times), my second Symphony for String Orchestra, and my passacaglia on themes from my opera for full orchestra (no voices).

BTW, if you are a string player and have any interest on playing on either or both of my String Symphonies this fall, please get in touch. I want the most massive string ensemble I can assemble. Violins and contrabasses are of particular interest.

Finally, I leave you with a clip of the first draft of my second string quartet (I admit that it is in need of heavy revision) as played by the Delorean Quartet (Amos Fayette, Adrienne Geisler, Alexander Baldock, Bonnie Obel).

I am playing twice tonight at the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University. The first performance is as the opener of the composition department recital. Michael Straus and I are playing the Entanglement movement from The Pauli Exclusion Principle. I have no idea how well this is going to work. It might be awesome. It might be a hilarious disaster. Either way, I garauntee entertainment.

7:30 PM (sharp!) in Griswold Hall

Then there is free food after the concert just outside the hall.

Then, the second performance will be as soon after the first concert as possible most likely starting around 10PM and lasting less than an hour. It will be me playing electric guitar with an INSANE video accompanying my feedback system. I was just going to play the feedback piece but there have been several requests that I shred so I practiced for 3 hours just now (first time I've played in 4 months which makes 4 times in the last 8 months) and think I'll be able to pull it off.

circa 10 PM Conservatory 314

Peabody's address is 1 East Mount Vernon Place, Baltimore, MD 21202

Then we'll go to the Yacht Club and drink pitchers of Clipper City ale. I've only slept about 12 hours in the last 90 so I should get really hammered really quickly :)

Reminder: I'm playing this Wednesday (2/8) at 7:30 in Griswold Hall at Peabody.

Addendum: I have a number of non-Peabody ppl coming and a number of Peabody ppl still haven't heard me play guitar. If I put on a second, multimedia performance after this concert sometime around 9:30 or 10:00 for half an hour or so, how many of you would stick around for it?

I finished my first symphony today...sorta. We'll see if it doesn't receive some heavy edits...or if I don't just burn the piece...so to speak. I notate with a computer, but deleting a file is so much less dramatic than burning a score.

In other news, my grandmother died this morning. That's the last of my grand parents. I can only hope I live for an entire century.

Michael Strauss and I will be performing the Entanglement movement for saxophone, piano and electronics from my piece about Quantum Mechanics, The Pauli Exclusion Principle.

The piece has never been performed in an audible space as it was processed directly to disk. This could be extremely interesting (read: disastrous) so I really hope you all come see me potentially severely embarrass myself.

If you already know about distributed computing and just want the link, it's:

http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu/

For those of you who don't know, I ask that you PLEASE read the following as you could actually contribute thousands of computational hours to IMPORTANT MEDICAL RESEARCH by merely spending 5 minutes of your time.

Distributed computing is the process by which large computations are split up and processed by many machines concurrently. Analogously, if you had a grocery list of 1000 items, you could acquire all of them much more quickly if you had 10 different people each get 100 of the items and, perhaps, even more quickly if you had 100 people each get 10 items. Distributed computing doesn't work exactly like this but you should have a good general idea of what's going on. The key to most desktop distributed computing clients is that they run in the background and have a low process priority thus only using "idle" cycles from your processor meaning that their use should not reduce your machine's performance at all. Furthermore, it does not matter how old/slow your machine is. Your contribution is wanted and will be helpful, no matter how small! The key to distributed computing is the sheer number of machines, not so much how fast those machines are.

"We know you're a huge nerd, but why are you telling us about this, Rich?"

Well, yes, distributed computing has been mainly a nerd thing for some time now. I've been active in distributed computing projects for years now, basically ever since I knew I could be involved. While there have been worthy causes for distributed computing, I figured those who might be interested in such things would discover them for themselves and distributed computing was probably neither an interest or a concern of most others. That recently changed when Google announced their distributed computing client called Google Compute. People seem to use things Google releases, and if that means distributed computing is now on its way to the mainstream of computer users, then I feel I should do what I can help people in their choice of a distributed computing client/project.

I ask that you not use Google Compute with their current policies.

The Google Compute site has the following text (I added the highlighting for emphasis) as of today (Saturday, July 9th, 2005).

"The first beneficiary of this effort is Folding@home, a non-profit research project at Stanford University that is trying to understand the structure of proteins so they can develop better treatments for a number of illnesses. In the future Google Compute may allow you to donate your computing time to other worthwhile endeavors, including projects to improve Google and its services."

I know that "do no evil" is part of the Google philosophy and I do not anticipate them doing anything that I find highly objectionable and at least they are being up front about potential uses of their system which is much more than some software vendors have done. While it would be despicable to release a distributed computing client under the auspices of scientific research only to later harvest user resources for their own benefit without users knowing, I doubt that is Google's intent. In regards to non-Google projects, they go on to say in their FAQ:

"The third party projects we choose to help out will be carefully selected non-profit projects, with the guiding principle being to help humanity and advance scientific knowledge. Users will be clearly notified of any such projects when they are introduced, and will maintain at all times the ability to disable or uninstall Google Compute for any reason."

...which is good to hear (read). My point is this: Would you rather use a client that may possibly contribute your machine hours to improving a business' Internet services or one that, you can assume with a high level of certainty, will be aiding in critical medical research for millions of people in life or death scenarios?

On that note, I would like to suggest use of the Scripps AIDS research client which can be found at:

http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu/

If you would like to explore some other options for the use of your computer's currently unused cycles, I suggest you visit:

Finding a good name is difficult due to many good names being taken and most people don't know how to spell anything other than the most commonly occurring words. So, suggest a name...or 7.

It could be my gratitude, it could be a free membership to the organization once it exists.

As many of you have probably heard by now, the Praxair plant located two blocks from my current residence exploded yesterday afternoon. Praxair is a gas company and this distribution plant contained many filled gas canisters which were launched throughout my neighborhood during the firestorm.

I, along with my car and briefcase (THE briefcase), were not in the neighborhood at the time of the explosion as I had a gig to run for ISI down at Jefferson Barracks so I missed most of the excitement.

I received several concerned phone calls and then found out that the area where I had last known my residence to stand was inside an evac zone and no one really knew the extent of the blast radius or damage...so that was a fun few hours.

I was eventually informed that the damage was localized almost entirely to the plant with the exception of minor damage caused by flying canisters that happened to collide with something other than the ground. Some parked cars in the area were destroyed.

The point is that I'm fine and everyone else seems to be fine and our property did not sustain any damage (as far as I can tell), but if you did happen to see that amatuer video footage of the ordeal, that was filmed from in front of my house :)

Hey everyone, I'm moving to Baltimore to go to grad school. I need to either move my things down to Baltimore ASAP and put them in storage or put them in storage here and move them down at the end of the summer as I'm spending the summer elsewhere.

So, if anyone wants to recommend a storage facility (proabably at least 5x5x10 or 250 cubic feet), a moving company or a vehicle rental company (when I moved from St. Louis, a cargo van worked wonders), please do!

Furthermore, I need to sublet my apartment. It's in Back Bay on Burbank Street. It's 1 block from the Boston Conservatory, 2 blocks from Symphony Hall, 2 blocks from the Northeastern University dorms, 2 blocks from the Christian Science Park, 3 blocks from Berklee College of Music, 4 blocks from the Copley Mall, and 4 blocks from the New England Conservatory. Rent is $650/month but I may be able to bring that down a bit. Heat and hot water are included.

Date: 2005-01-06 01:51 Subject: To Remember Those Who've Died... Security: Public

...we honor their memory.

Almost 6 months prior to the writing of this entry, I wrote this. This entry is the promised continuation of that.

Here is another installment of the most brilliant and important musical works that we are fortunate enough to know today. I don't really have the time or energy at the moment to give blurbs about that many of them this time around though.

Beethoven - Violin Concerto, Op. 61 (1806) - The story goes that Beethoven did not finish the piece until the day Franz Clement premiered it.

Felix Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 (1844)

Giuseppe Verdi - Requiem (1873) - In honour of the poet Manzoni.

Richard Strauss - Also sprach Zarathustra, Op.30 (1896)

Gustav Holst - The Planets (1916)

Bartok - 4th String Quartet (1928) - This work, along with the Sonata for 2 Pianos and Percussion, exhibits the height of Bartok's formalized technique. The organizational structure and advancements in the new tonal framework are the subject of much discussion to this day. The counterpoint is unfathomably tight rivaling that of Scriabin in the 9th Piano Sonata.

Stravinsky - Symphony of Psalms (1930) - When the BSO commissioned this work, they asked Igor for something in a "popular" style. Igor took out his english dictionary and looked up "popular" where he found "of the people." To him, religion was of the people. This work could never be mistaken for pop music. It is an extremely heavy work whose strange orchestration indicative of Stravinsky and second movement double fugue make it unforgettable.

Bartok - Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1936)

Toru Takemitsu - Requiem for String Orchestra (1957)

Tomiko Kojiba - Hiroshima Requiem (date of composition unknown to me) - It saddens me greatly to know that I was in Seattle when this was performed and I missed it. On May 19th, 2001, what was I doing? I was drinking 105 on at Matt and Terry's soon-to-be-mine-at-the-time apartment...ripping the hole in my stomach after blacking out.

György Ligeti - Lux Aeterna (1966) - Ligeti redefines the sonic paradigm for chorus.

Schnittke - Concerto Grosso No.3 for two violins, harpsichord, celesta, piano and 14 strings in five movements, Op. 188 (1985)

Wolfgang Rihm - String Quartet No.8 (Achtes Streichquartett) (1988)

Ligeti - Violin Concerto (1992) - This work changed the way I thought about microtonality.

Luciano Berio - Chemin IV (1975/2000)

Oliver Knussen - Violin Concerto, Op.30 (2002)

Rest assured that there is much more to come.

Hey everyone,

This message is just to give everyone a quick update about what is going on.

First of all, I'm supposedly going to be played on the radio tonight (Tuesday December 7th) between 8 and 10PM on 91.5 FM WUML broadcasting out of Lowell. Reception in Boston is doubtful since that is Tuft's frequency but anyone can tune in REGARDLESS OF LOCATION via:

http://www.wuml.org/webcast.php

Secondly, I am now up on the American Composers Forum (https://www.composersforum.org/member_profile.cfm?oid=4634) and the American Music Center's New Music Jukebox (http://www.newmusicjukebox.org/composers/c_works.asp?ActorID=40866).

Also, I may be looking to assemble a string orchestra in a month or two for a project of mine so let me know if you can put me in contact with any good string players in the Boston area.

Thanks for reading!

Date: 2004-10-01 04:02 Subject: Idioglossia Security: Public Music: Wagner - Tristan und Isolde

n. secret speech or language

In the year preceding the composition of this quartet, my musical language experienced a distinct shift away from the lyrical ways of Shostakovich and Scriabin. This newfound direction was initially inspired by Iannis Xenakis. I found a great many things in his works that were not only new to me but also, more importantly, captivating and exciting. Xenakis undoubtedly debased my sonic paradigm but the formation of what was to take its place owes much more to Wolfgang Rihm. I had written pieces for string quartet before but they always felt as if they were lacking something. Upon hearing the music of Rihm, I found what it was that had been missing.

The events surrounding the composition of this piece included illness, discovery of a suicide note and a great deal of sleep deprivation. Ironically enough, this is the first piece I have written that involves complex mathematical calculations as it was during my time at the University of Washington studying mathematics that my extreme sleep deprivation led to a serious physical affliction.

Words, being unable to express the emotional turmoil I was experiencing, were superseded by my newly formed idioglossia of ametric and amelodic dissonant expressionism. This piece truly feels as though it is conveyed in an almost secret language. It is, undoubtedly, a language understood by few in comparison to the more familiar musical realms such as modality or functional tonality, but whose beauty, while not as immediately evident, is equally as great.

Date: 2004-08-09 17:48 Subject: Yeah, I'm just now realizing this. Security: Public Mood: crazy Music: Scriabin - Piano Sonata No9 'Messe Noire' Sviatoslav Richter

There is no harmonic goal in Scriabin's 9th piano sonata.

That's right. It's that whole impressionist referential structuralism thing but, unlike Debussy, nothing ever resolves. I started thinking about extended tension because that's how Wagner and Debussy wrote those soaring passages that are just SOOO intense. Debussy has this elided phrase structure thing going on. If Wagner feels he should wait an hour (literally) to resolve something, he will.

Scriabin, on the other hand, just had no harmonic goal by 1913. The simultaneities are governed by the referential structuralism but there is not a single point of discernably more consonance or definite release. The longest duration without motion is a half note occuring in the final section. The entire scheme of the piece is, merely, to be or persist.

The FIRST rule on my composition list is "All things worthwhile are goverened by Tension and Release" and while it is arguable that there are points of greater or lesser tension in this piece, there appears to be no point of definitive release. It's a sort of chaotic haze controlled by its formal plan and almost unfathomably tight counterpoint.

Date: 2004-07-19 01:56 Subject: Where echoes of different times resound Security: Public

There is no way I could, in a single effort, list the most brilliant or important musical works of all time so this is but one installment of suggested listening and/or supplemental music history.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - String Quartet No 19 in C, K465 'Dissonant Quartet' - A glimpse into the future from 1785

Mozart - Symphony No 40 in g minor K550 (1788)

Mozart - Symphony No 41 in C 'Jupiter' K551 (1788)

Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Sonata No.14 in c# minor, Op. 27 no. 2 'Moonlight Sonata' (1801) - Everyone should know the first movement already but the third movement is the truly amazing one in my opinion.

Beethoven - Piano Sonata No.23 in f minor, op. 57 'Appasionata' (1805)

Richard Wagner - Tristan und Isolde (1859) - While it's probably an exaggeration to call Tristan the first work to defy tonality, it was the first work to do so for over 4 hours. Wagner refuses to resolve his dominant 7th chord and reappropriates the tension state into the release state laying the groundwork for both referential structuralism (neo-tonality) and dodecaphony. Furthermore, this piece was supposedly written from the heart, not the head as the inversionary set relations with a 50% invariance factor would appear to suggest.

Antonin Dvorak - Symphony no. 9 in e minor, 'From the New World' (1893) - Dvorak's American symphony, hence the name since he was a Czech, stands as one of the greatest romantic symphonies alongside those of Schubert and Tchaikovsky.

Claude Debussy - Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun), L.86 (1894) - Perhaps the most well known and, arguably, greatest piece in the expressionist vein. Debussy displays his complete mastery of subtle orchestration.

Alexander Scriabin - Piano Sonata No.5 in F#, Op. 53 (1907) - Scriabin's first piano sonata in the single movement form.

Anton Webern - Fünf Sätze für Streichquartett, Op.5 orchestrated (1909)

Arnold Schoenberg - Fünf Orchesterstücke in der Originalfassung for orchestra (Five Orchestral Pieces), op. 16 (1909 rev. 1922) - Schoenberg's post-tonal pre-dodecaphonic expressionist masterpiece

Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis (1910) - You've probably heard this or a cue derived from this composition in several films.

Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (1912) - Nearly a century later, it still stands as the greatest polytonal work ever written. This is, arguably, the most important piece of music from the 20th Century.

Scriabin - Piano Sonata No.9 'Messa Noire (Black Mass)', Op. 68 (1913) - If No.5 is not Scriabin's greatest work, then this is.

Maurice Ravel - Orchestration of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (1922)

Alban Berg - Wozzeck Op.7 (1922) - Berg's adaptation of George Buchner's Woyzeck is, to this day, the greatest atonal opera ever written.

Webern - Symphonie, Op. 21 (1928) - Webern takes formalized structuralism to a new level with his palindromic and total serial approach.

Dmitri Shostakovich - Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk, op. 29 (1932) - In what is perhaps the greatest opera of the 20th century, Shostakovich takes musical characterization to a whole new level.

Vaughan Williams - Symphony No.4 in f (1934) - Vaughan Williams BACH piece that raises the bar for cel expansion and motivic development. This is easily Vaughan Williams most dissonant and powerful work. He hated it.

Berg - Violin Concerto "Dem Andenken eines Engels (To the Memory of an Angel)" (1935) - Dedicated to a Boston native Louis Krasner, Berg's final finished work is generally accepted to be his greatest. Berg blurs the lines seperating tonality from dodecaphony to create a romantic masterpiece. Berg immortalizes himself...a giant who lived in a box.

Shostakovich - Violin Concerto No.1, Op. 77 (1948) - Not heard until over a decade after it's composition, Shostakovich's First Violin Concerto is truly a symphony by all indications and, in my opinion, his greatest.

Iannis Xenakis - Metastaseis (1954) - Xenakis' first orchestral work is the beginning of stochastic composition. It is tied, mathematically, to the Philips Pavillion of Le Corbusier designed for the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels. Varese's Poeme electronique was composed for performance in that building.

Krystof Penderecki - Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima (1959) - Just like Xenakis' Metastaseis, Threnody further expands the sonic paradigm for string orchestra.

Shostakovich - String Quartet No.8, Op. 110 (1960) - Just read this.

Xenakis - Synaphaï (1969) - This is, essentially, Xenakis' piano concerto. The piano part is notated across 10 staves with performance directions instructing the pianist to play as many of the lines as possible.

Alfred Schnittke - Concerto Grosso No.1 for two violins, prepared piano, harpsichord and 21 strings in six movements, Op. 119 (1977) - Schnittke defines, for me, the late Russian realist paradigm with this piece.

Schnittke - Concerto for Piano and Strings (1979) - This work is a soul-shattering vengeful and mournful masterpiece of unparalleled expressionism and craftsmanship.

Ok, that should keep you all busy for awhile. I will attempt to fill in the (many) gaps in a month or two.

Date: 2004-06-15 19:06 Subject: Prelude Security: Public Music: Wagner - Prelude und Liebestod from Tristan and Isolde

In the spirit of this entry and serving as a prelude to some advice I'm about to give to a few people, here is another public service announcement from Richard Edward Horner.

The subject here is who you, as a socially responsible being, should not date. The premise is that of minimizing consequences when the relationship goes south. Notice that I say "when" not "if". This is an operational mutation of standard course that I've employed due to a generalization I'm making from percentages. Allow me to describe this generalization.

First of all, this "advice" (if you will) is directed towards the young. You may interpret "young" however you wish but if you're actually contemplating it's application to you, it's probably not applicable :) ANYWAY, what percentage of relationships have you "young" observed in your peer group that have resulted in marriage? We shall use this figure as a jumping off point. My own figure would be a tad low due to the overabundance of musicians and "faithless" people I know so I will augment it to make it more closely resemble a figure one of you might have. We'll use .3% - three tenths of one percent. It should be obvious from this figure that for any given relationship, the chance of it "not working out" is EXTREMELY HIGH!

I will not attempt to generate a formula or algorithm to describe the chances of a relationship ending "badly" due to a lack of quantatative data and, subsequently, my unwillingness to define such a concept.

Ok, so now that we have established that THINGS WILL NOT WORK OUT WITH YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER, we can now continue with the presentation of the rules set for who you, as a socially responsible being, should not date. It should be noted that I use the vague term "date" to encompass any number of emotionally volatile actions. It's specific application varies from person to person and may mean anything from "court" to "casual sex" or...use your imagination. The rules are listed in order of decreasing importance.

Rule #1: Do not "date" anyone who lives in your building/housing complex.
Reason: It's virtually impossible to avoid them even if neither of you wishes to see or speak to each other.

Rule #2: If you attend school, do not "date" anyone that is in your department. If you go to a school of less than 5000, don't "date" anyone at your school.
Reason: See above and add: Even if one of you is about to graduate, stories will circulate which could seriously damage your networking and career.

Rule #3: Do not "date" anyone you work with.
Reason: Imagine having to see the person for eight hours every day when you can no longer stand them. Then consider the potential legal consequences of an office romance gone awry.

Rule #4: Do not "date" anyone in your network of friends.
Reason: Your friends may be forced to choose sides which is really not good for everyone involved. Also, every time you want to go out, you have to consider who is going to be there and how that affects who you can bring or what behaviors will be deemed appropriate.

Rule #5: Do not "date" anyone who lives within X blocks of you. X is determined, in part, by the following factors:
a) Both parties' modes of transportation are important because people who only walk to their driveway have almost no chance of running into each other on the street.
b) Does there exist a potential to encounter each other during the daily routine? Be sure to factor in going to work, excercising and/or dog walking.
c) Is there any sort of neighborhood association that either of you belong to?
d) How often do both of you get out?
Reason: Do I really need to explain any further?


There you have it folks. If you were responsible, you'd only be dating random people!
