Comments on douglasboyce's stuff
I really enjoyed this piece very much and would like to hear more such.
Your other commenter said Bartók-esque and I couldn't have put it better myself. I find it reminiscent of the excellent 'Concerto for Orchestra.'
I also find your technique interesting. I am just beginning to experiment with generative music (albeit of a very different style) and the idea of mapping various sources of information into music is appealing.
i was born and raised on 135th. st. and amsterdam, im sure it was a far different place than when your father lived there in the 40s, yet this still evokes memories for me.e nice track
I've known people who fit the description of your father and (in memory) they sound and feel exactly like this. Bravo!
Great sensitivity to detail, strong sound images. Put some more tracks up here!
Do you by any chance have any compositions that use the voice in a non-traditional way? I'm working on programming the upcoming season of Mobtown Modern, a new music series at the Contemporary Museum in Baltimore that I recently started with saxophonist Brian Sacawa. One of the programs that is still open is called "More Than Words" (January), concentrating on innovative treatment of the human voice. Let me know if you have anything that could work for that. By the way, do you teach in the DC area?
Best, Erik Spangler

love the floating glissandi in the melody; xenakis with a back-beat - very nice!
