From Intransitive Recordings:
Andrew Fenchel’s long-running Lampo organization has been presenting concerts of adventurous music in Chicago since 1997. I spoke with Andrew about his work just as Lampo’s latest calendar of events was made public.
NPR provides a list of up and coming young composers. Highlights include:
Darcy James Argue
Mick Barr (Orthrelm, Ocrilim)
James Blackshaw
Tyondai Braxton
Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead)
Mary Halvorson
Tim Hecker
Vijay Iyer
Rudresh Mahanthappa
Nico Muhly
Joanna Newsom
Jessica Pavone
Tristan Perich
Aaron Siegel
Sufjan Stevens
Matthew Welch
From ThirdCoast Digest:
Yarn/Wire, comprising pianists Ning Yu (not pictured above) and Laura Barger and percussionists and Russell Greenberg and Ian Antonio, toured the edges of contemporary music Thursday night, at the first of four Unruly Music concerts this week. Their respect for precision timing, “controlled” randomized effects, novel uses of instruments and catering to the varied conceits of composers confirmed their value to 21st century avant-garde development.
