Interview on New Music Pioneer


One year ago I had the great pleasure to meet flutist Elizabeth McNutt when she and composer Andrew May of Sounds Modern invited local musicians to participate in the debut of UNSET, Andrew's site-specific sound composition for Donald Judd's works in concrete at the Chinati Foundation.

I was first impressed by Sounds Modern – and Elizabeth's flute-playing in particular – in 2013 when they brought a sublime performance of Morton Feldman's Crippled Symmetry to Marfa. 

I'm very grateful to Elizabeth for inviting me to respond to a few very thoughtful questions for her New Music Pioneer blog! Here's the interview.
