Today is the day that Braxton’s Tricentric Foundation launches their new site. A free download is available for signing up, and if you become a member, there will be downloadable content available each month.
Personally, I have had problems signing in. I tried registering with two different accounts and neither will accept my password. I suspect that this will be fixed soon.
Update: 3/2/11: I have been able to log in and download music. I hadn’t realized this earlier, but the site also offers free downloads of a number of bootleg recordings. The old (and rare) Braxton House CDs are available for a reasonable price. Overall, a great site.

The Present Music Ensemble will also perform Steve Reich‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning Double Sextet.
