Guest teetime Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) Quote Sinfonietta Shorts is a series of commissions by some of today's leading composers in celebration of the ensemble's 40th anniversary. Each piece is scored for a small group of performers or soloist from the London Sinfonietta. One of the most exciting elements of the project will be that the score of most Sinfonietta Shorts will be available to download for free (for a limited period of time after the premiere) giving any musician anywhere the opportunity to have a go at playing the pieces. The first five Sinfonietta Shorts were premiered on 2 December at Southbank Centre's Queen Elizabeth Hall and continue throughout our 2008-2009 season. Sinfonietta Shorts have been supported by generous individual donations. If you would like to find out how you can own your own slice of musical history from just £500 (or £42.50 per month) please contact our Development Department on 020 7239 9340 or friends@londonsinfonietta.org.uk Composers writing Sinfonietta Shorts are: Hans Abrahamsen Richard Barrett Gerald Barry Django Bates Luke Bedford Harrison Birtwistle Pierre Boulez Mira Calix Phillip Cashian Tansy Davies Dai Fujikura Jonathan Harvey Tom Jenkinson David Lang Colin Matthews Anna Meredith John Woolrich http://www.londonsinfonietta.org.uk/projec...fonietta-shorts Edited April 18, 2009 by teetime Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44815-sinfonietta-shorts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teetime Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Into the Ether: DiS meets Squarepusher The Interview Quote This set is a fair contrast from your previous Ether appearance in 2004, with the London Sinfonietta... Yes, entirely different. And in my opinion that's a good thing. It was a fantastic opportunity and a great introduction to the Sinfonietta. Their knowledge and range of repertoire is fantastically broad. It was a tricky one 2004 in the sense that a couple of plans that we had were actually impossible to bring to fruition in the time we had. Thankfully those have led to ongoing projects, which hopefully at some point will be realised. I think this [year's Ether set] will be a much more wholehearted effort from myself. and the next gig at primevara in may, will likely feature "new material" because... Quote DiS: Your Ether set is billed as a 'special' live show... SP: Yeah. Special in a sense that this is probably one of the last times it's going to be done featuring drummer Alex Thomas. I suppose people's experience of my live shows are very much based on solo-orientated work and I think given the fact I'm using a drummer on this occasion it does lend a degree of novelty. name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>"> name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44815-sinfonietta-shorts/#findComment-1031102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnio Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) nice! Quote Has work begun on your next album already? I don’t tend to work specifically on albums in strictly delineated chunks of time. I tend to have lots of things on the go and then if there’s a group of pieces that seem to have a strong correlation to each other I might switch attention try to develop it as an album. At the moment it’s just a set of ongoing projects which vary from the very overtly harmonically and technically-orientated music right through to projects which really don’t have much to do with at least any conventional notions of harmony. that sounds interesting Edited May 4, 2009 by qnio Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/44815-sinfonietta-shorts/#findComment-1032003 Share on other sites More sharing options...
