Past Notices - 1998

• Six new shows are available on KalvoNet! Hear interview programs with N.N. und ähnliche Elemente and K&D's own David Gunn. We also celebrated Electroacoustic Music Week in November, fretted over political music, invented a new award, and last but not least played the marches, fanfares and dances of impeachment! These new shows join recent show postings of interviews with Mary Jane Leach (with new pix on her page), Steve Gryc (new pix on his page) and Michael Sahl (new commentary by Boudewijn Buckinx on his page), as well as our shows on choral music (a followup to Mary Jane's interview), on composer-rather-than-philosopher John Cage (he wrote great stuff!), and some birthday folks. See a new pix of David Stevens and more info.

• The goddard.edu servers were inaccessible from Thursday, December 24, to Saturday, December 26. AT&T has solved the routing issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.

• The goddard.edu servers have been inaccessible since Thursday, December 24. AT&T is attempting to repair a major routing issue, and hopes to have it solved by Monday the 28th. We apologize for the inconvenience. If the server is down past Monday, we will temporarily move composer pages to this Malted/Media site and give you instructions on how to access them here. Audio files will remain unavailable until the goddard.edu servers come back on line.

• We're about to catch up on the site with new shows, scores, music and interview clips, and photos. We did manage to get some new photos up of N.N. und ähnliche Elemente. Our hard drive, down for 23 days (no thanks to Maxtor, who's had to replace it twice), is finally functioning again, so we're diving in to the work. But we are much in need of volunteers to do updates to our resources page. We have the material submitted, but sites need to be checked and inserted into the list. Please contact us.

• We're behind on posting new show archives, music clips, photos, and some great new score excerpts from Michael Manion because our DATs are in repair and the data and programs we use are entombed on our local hard disk with a blown integrated controller card. Anybody got a Maxtor 90720D5 to spare...? (Nov. 28 note: we're still down.)

• Attention WebTV users: WebTV and its owner Microsoft have decided not to support the latest versions of RealAudio. Please read this story, and then contact WebTV with your concerns. In the meantime, you can play our RealAudio files with any other online service. We are disappointed in WebTV's position, but cannot provide separate content for a single service provider.

• Five new shows are available on KalvoNet!. Hear interview programs with Mary Jane Leach, Steve Gryc and Michael Sahl, as well as our shows on choral music (a followup to Mary Jane's interview), on composer-rather-than-philosopher John Cage (he wrote great stuff!), and some birthday folks.

• Read two brand new essays, Klarenz Barlow's 50 Jahre Avantgarde: Der Weg von Klangprägung zur Klingenden Münze, and Gary Barwin's Why There Should Be a Rock on Every Teacher's Desk. There are serious points buried in these wry pieces. These essays join three new essays on Tom Johnson's page: Narayana's Cows and Delayed Morphisms, a review of Self-Similar Melodies, and Automatic Music.
• Listen to new musical excerpts by Mary Jane Leach and Howard Jonathan Fredrics, plus extended interview clips with Michael Torke and Canary Burton. (By the way, Canary recounts here adventures on the K&D show here, that night's fireworks experience here, and reviews Dennis Báthory-Kitsz's Detritus of Mating in the Alternative Music Press.)
• Check out new pages for Bruce Hobson, Wendy Mae Chambers, and Michael Sahl -- all with musical excerpts, and interview clips with Michael. We also have new pages going up shortly for Louis Andriessen, Elizabeth Pizer, Jürgen Richter, Dietmar Hippler (whose interview is broadcast next week), and Anton Lukoszevieze.
• Check out the musical score examples of Michael Manion, beautifully crafted examples of contemporary scoring, in PDF format, to go along with the musical excerpts from Islands on his page.
• There are great new pix of the Brannen Kingma System flute on Anne La Berge's page, and amazing pix of Anne herself. Also, check out the cool new pix of David Dramm along with some more music, as well as the new list of recordings and complete catalog of Gwyneth Walker.

• After struggling with external searchers, we found one right here at home, courtesy of Goddard College. So search us!

• Our AmsterDramm Project was a great success, and there are now some photos of the evenings events for viewing -- and the whole 5-hour cybercast broken into manageable listening bits coming soon! But we are still some $3,500 short in our funding goal. Please click here to view the budget and help with funding this and future events. Many thanks!

• AmsterDramm Day was a huge success with a 5-hour cybercast. Read all about the live cybercast with David Dramm and Anne La Berge live from Amsterdam -- and many guests including Jacqueline Oskamp, Louis Andriessen, Philip Mechanicus, Ruth Dreier, Nick Didkovsky, Kevin Whitehead, Frances-Marie Uitti and Clarence Barlow, all from STEIM in cooperation with Vuurwerk Internet.

• AmsterDramm Day is almost here! The special project planned for our September 12 show is almost ready -- a live interview via high-bandwidth Internet connection with David Dramm, along with a concert by David and Anne La Berge live from Amsterdam -- and many guest composer visits including Louis Andriessen, Richard Barrett, Clarence Barlow and others. Damian will be in the Vermont studios, with Kalvos in Amsterdam. Broadcast and cybercast of the concert from STEIM will be from both sides of the ocean in cooperation with Vuurwerk Internet. This special 3-1/2 hour show will begin at our regular time on Saturday, September 12 ... for more details, see our special AmsterDramm page and our ever-so-essentail funding page. If you're reading this on September 12 and want to get right to it, go right to the AmsterDramm cybercast!
