In which I may get fired 2x
On Tuesday November 10th, Cantaloupe Music is releasing composer Julia Wolfe's Dark Full Ride: Music in Multiples. To celebrate, there will be a series of free performances around Manhattan. Does everyone remember the amazing Angel Project from 2002? This is a gesture toward that. Nobody really works anyway, right? So come for some or all of these 20-minute concerts. We'll all travel together to each performance with Julia and the musicians. Here's the schedule:
11AM - "LAD" for 9 bagpipes
Matthew Welch plays LAD on bagpipe with 8 more bagpipes on tape
Roulette, 20 Greene Street (between Canal and Grand)
12 NOON - "Dark Full Ride" for 4 drumsets
Talujon Percussion Quartet (David Cossin, Tom Kolor, Michael Lipsey and Matt Ward)
Dauphin Human Design, 138 West 25th Street, 12th Floor (between 6th and 7th Avenues)
1PM - "Stronghold" for 8 double basses
Robert Black and the Hartt Bass Band
Chelsea Art Museum, 556 West 22nd Street (corner of 11th Avenue)
2:30PM - "my lips from speaking" for 6 pianos
Lisa Moore, Lisa Kaplan, Blair McMillen, Timo Andres, Kate Campbell, Isabelle O'Connell
conducted by Sam Adams
Faust Harrison Pianos, 205 West 58th Street (between 7th and 8th Avenues)
I'm already planning my hilarious out-of-office autoreply for that day.
And now for something completely different, since Cecilia Bartoli isn't touring in the States this season, we're having a virtual (" ") release party for her on Monday, November 16th. The release party, at (le) poisson rouge in (le) West Village, will feature a video recording of Cecilia performing selections from her new album, Sacrificium. The concert was recorded on September 10th, 2009 at the court theater of the Reggia di Caserta. The party will include silly door prizes and a drink called "The Castratini".
Keep in mind both these things could be completely unattended and I will go crawling back to the sell-tickets-to-a-live-concert-to-celebrate-a-release-in-one-place method after pounding Castratinis alone. I'll keep you posted.

Sites
This site has musicians teaching viewers how to play their most popular songs on the guitar via downloadable video.
This microsite for one of MOMA's 2006 exhibitions is a(n extreme) lesson in what can be done digitally for special projects (world premieres?).
Sometimes, when the (performing arts) world gets me down, I go to The Met's website and feel better about it all.
