The New York Miniaturist Ensemble is one of the freshest ideas in chamber music in years— the ensemble performs works of only 100 notes or less. I was very chuffed/terrified to receive an invite from them for a composition. As it turned out, composing in notation for traditional instruments, despite (or because ) of my non existent reading skills, was a blast. The result is Piano For 17.6 Hands. It should be very heavy and very funny looking. Somewhat like The Keystone Cops covering Swans. With luck (they have to find a few extra hands) it should be performed at NYME’s March 31st concert.

With any luck, brianjosephdavis.com should be pointing here within the next 24 hours. This is an entirely new site and webspace and while I tried to minimalize link failure there were some victims. For the time being, the 10 Banned flash page is sleeping (audio, as always is still available in the downloads section).
This move has been precipitated by Ubu.com and the Free Music Archive taking on my entire sound and music catalog. As much as I loved my built-from-scratch html page, there was no need for my old fashioned media sucking site. Other benefits include this blog, so news and events will appear more frequently. If you’ve come here looking for a file and can’t find it, please feel free to email and I’ll send you in the right direction.
