source file: mills2.txt Date: Tue, 17 Dec 1996 14:18:00 -0800 Subject: Tuning program progress report From: gtaylor@heurikon.com (One Cointreau, on ice....) Just a brief update; it would appear that - by virtue of circumstance and some listener requests - my tuning series is going to be spread over 3 or 4 separate programs. This is, in part, due to the fact that y'all have been very generous with sending tapes [yo, Sethares - I'm still waiting....]. It turns out that a number of listeners seemed to want to hear some of the stuff they *don't* have. This means that the big request is Partch's "Delusion of the Fury" on Columbia, for example. A couple of listeners wanted to know why I wasn't doing quarter tone pieces, too. SO - the first program is going to be some kind of "traditional values" program; 20th century works by "the old guys" (Blackwood, Partch, Darreg, Ives q-tone, Johnston, early Riley, and a bit of *really* rare LaMonte if I can dig it up, etc.). The next set will be the "new guys" (that's *you* lot), and - I didn't exactly think of this - one listener wanted a program of non-western music (this is still on the drawing board) for #3. #3 might wind up being a bit of a mix, perhaps. By virtue of dividing it this way, I can opt for more of the works you submitted and not appear to be slighting Ivor for Carter Scholz, etc. Given the season and some other stuff, I think the shows will be spread out to one/month for the next 3 months, with the first one being this Sunday. I am *really* going to keep to my usual rules about not spending half the evening blathering on mike (the work is lots more interesting than my opinions of it. I know that some of you may be surprised to learn that I'm the very sould of brevity on-mike), so I'll have to *really* encourage folks to call me if they've got questions. Thanks again to all of you for your work and for your advice. I think that !12tET.2 is going to be the third week in January (weeks one and two are traditionally the long-form "Best releases of 1996" program, where folks get to hear 15 or so minutes of each disc instead of a lousy soundbite. As a side note, "Music from the Isle of Anaphoria" - which I commend to your hearing - is on the short list this year).
