from THE MAGIC BOX: "4 Square" for vibraphone & marimba

BLUE MONK variations is both a musical homage to the great pianist and composer, Thelonious MONK, as well as a kind of improvised meditation on the tune. It's just a way of thinking about music. Instead of writing words ABOUT music, which, of course, I'm doing now, we sit down and compose a piece about a piece, as a kind of playful journey into the wilds which might lie ahead.

The pieces was written for my mallet virtuosi friends, Niels Meliefste and Claire Edwards, of DUO VERTIGO

INTRO to RIDGE CROSSING, w/ all performance materials, etc at:
http://bit.ly/1OqhaSe

THE IDEAL WAY to perform RIDGE CROSSING might be with a quartet of pianos, together with a women's choir of about eight to ±24 voices. The pieces may also be played separately, outside of the cycle. The poems should always be performed first, without the music.

THE MAGIC BOX, 1st piece in a project for vibraphone & marimba

THIS IS PART ONE of an audiobook I'm making of David Bohm's (1917-1992)essential, ON DIALOGUE. It's intended for some of my friends and students, and all those interested in exploring nonviolence, ethics, the destructive and divisive nature of thought and thinking, in a serious, sustained way. Both alone, and collectively. I also feel strongly that such a dialogue circle forms the basis of a radically new performance practice in the Arts generally. 

In addition, I'm using ON DIALOGUE with my THEATER OF THE NEW project: SEE ON TWITTER at: https://twitter.com/theaterofthenew
