Anybody out there know about possible release dates for the next ECM recordings for Reich-"This Desert Music"? It will be interesting to hear how the rhythms of William Carlos Williams fit into what he's done with the music..I'm still trundling about mumbling what of the Hebrew I can remember from "Tehillim." Oh yes...you might want to try to get a hold of Paul Dresher's latest recording "Channels Passing." It's on a small indie label, lots of the stuff done by his students/cronies at the Cornish Institute. If all you've heard is his guitar based stuff from "The Way of How," Then these ensemble pieces may surprise you somewhat. Another of those second generation Minimalist enterprises, with some roots in Balinese and Javanese work in the same manner as Reich, though with different emphasis (Dresher, for example, did his thesis work on the construction of gamelans from native household American materials). ________________________________________________________________________________ If you ask me, I may tell you gtaylor@cornell it's been this way for years Gregory Taylor I play my red guitar....
