Anthony Braxton last night at New England Conservatory, thanks to @avantmusicnews for the late heads up on this. Four student ensembles and one with Braxton himself navigated works by the featured composer. I don't have a good way of articulating what I saw and heard last night but it was a fantastic display of colorful, and distinct, experimental music. The Braxton unit was the showstopper, the reed players had incredible breath control, command of dynamics, and an intense attack on their instrument. You could hear their breath and the slamming of the valves all throughout the hall. What a night of (free!) music, glad I made the last minute run to Boston.

A quote from the latest #wiki-#interview with #composer Aidan Gold:

> I think that communication is a central goal of my work, and I wouldn’t consider a piece successful unless it is able to be perceptually understood within some framework

(in the context of #experimentalMusic / #avantgarde - hot-takish maybe? ;) )
