Several weeks ago I once again travelled to Birmingham for a week's residency at Birmingham Conservatoire with contemporary music group Decibel. The week featured three concerts for the group which performed works by the late Robert Ashley, Ed Bennett, Joe Cutler, Michael Wolters, Andrew Hamilton, Philip Glass and student composers. As always it was a gruelling, but great week, particularly so for me because my 9-months pregnant wife kindly waited until I returned home before giving birth to our second daughter three days later!
My saxophone quartet Syzygy recently were successful in achieving their Kickstarter project. Though sceptical of our gaining much through crowd-funding, we were delighted to find that the project raised nearly £3000, exceeding the £2500 target. The next stage will be to produce, design and distribute the recording of Maslanka's 'Songs for the Coming Day'. Many thanks to all who were so generous in their support.
