Knells_II_Trailer_FINAL_no_credits.pctDear friends,

I’d like to invite you to join me this Thursday, January 21 at National Sawdust in Brooklyn, where I’ll be performing a full concert of works involving guitar.
In addition to a couple of solos, I’m looking forward to being joined by percussionist Jude Traxler in the NY premiere of my Lutoslawski meets Pink Floyd- inspired “Unraveling” for electric guitar, vibraphone, and looping machines. I’ll also be performing my own realization of Steve Reich’s seminal work for electric guitar, “Electric Counterpoint.”
Rounding out the program, The Knells — featuring myself, Nina Berman, Charlotte Mundy, Blythe Gaissert-Levitt, Paul Orbell, Joe Higgins, Jeff Gretz, and Jude Traxler — will join forces with software artist Joshue Ott for a full set of 21st century amplified art song. Augmented by Josh’s swirling, realtime graphic animations, we’ll perform several new tunes in addition to some material from our eponymous 2013 release.

The Golden Age Revived

Every era has had its coterie of sensitive souls, nostalgic for earlier, purer and more beautiful times; some of them merely bemoaned what was lost, but others strove to revive and refashion previous cultures .  Through the Renaissance a recurring fascination with Greek and Roman art, literature and philosophy informed the work of the finest artists, writers and composers.   While often they turned out to be working on inaccurate information, still the results at times were wonderful – witness, for example, Monteverdi’s generation, in its search for the expressive power of Classical Greek tragedians, which resulted in the prototypes of opera in Europe – or, in a similar spirit, the search for Greek “pykna” (“points of colour”) in the chromatic madrigals of Gesualdo and his colleagues, themselves the spur for Stravinsky’s experiments four centuries later.

The 26th Raritan River Music Festival continues with concerts in May. Guitar Mania is the name given to an incredible vogue of the guitar in European capitals during the late-18th and early-19th centuries, most popular among women.  Cultural movements like Romanticism and Beidermeier figured prominently in creating this fashion trend. With wars resolved and middle class prosperity growing, a tremendous new market flourished for music to be played on household instruments.  Enjoy an evening of music from the salons of Vienna and Paris, featuring the Newman & Oltman Guitar Duo’s faculty colleagues from Mannes College of Music (Marcy Rosen, cello), The College of New Jersey (John Laughton, clarinet), Lafayette College (Jorge Torres, guitar and Larry Stockton, percussion) and Princeton University (Jayn Rosenfeld, flute).
