To announce & introduce my upcoming week (June 16–22) of un-popular music creation and concerts at the wonderful WORM in Rotterdam, NL—and perhaps make me even less popular—Richard Foster, Esq., began serially posting my answers to some bizarre questions he recently asked me.
Here’s the first part.

A few reflections and a personal / private homage to Tom Johnson (1939-2024), that took the form of a 'counting' score in the spirit of some of his 'counting' works. This one based on the generation of numbers that count themselves, like 3 122 331 418. For 2 saxophones.

Dan ben ik niet ver uit je buurt. Ik zit in Montreuil, net even buiten de ring, eindpunt van lijn 9. (Vanaf dinsdag weer.)
😊 Veel plezier, Marco. Ik zal extra goed om me heen kijken deez’ week, misschien zie ik je wel ergens voorbijzweven 😎 …

Every sudoku solution (suso) is a superposition of nine disjoint permutation matrices of order nine. These are its nine colors, or, for me as a sudokist, its nine voices.
And yes, of course, you can dissect it accordingly.

March 25th, Huijun Yi, Shih-wen Lee & I met up with MC JJ Duerinckx & Jean-Michel Van Schouwburg in the Ateliers Claus in Brussels.
We engaged in a curious sonic ballet. Sometimes we tip-toed, then again crawled, whirled or nearly drowned in dizzying avalanches of sopranino notes...

On March 26th, during the 54th OMFI performance at the Grand Hospice in Brussels with Huijun Yi (voice, guzheng) & Shih-wen Lee (double bass), I found myself telling the story of my mother's Xmas-trees.
Read that story, and listen to the evening's finale: "Doux Massacres (Gentle Slaughter)".

ah ... ik zie net de message op eliane tapes; ok, ga dat en het gelinkte artikel lezen. CD's net zo natuurlijk. Blijf ik benieuwd naar een schatting voor onze digitale muziekconsumptie. Mocht je eventueel meer info hebben, willen delen, kan misschien beter per email (hars7@mac.com)? groet H
Dag Sietse, het tape afvalprobleem ken ik maar al te goed natuurlijk, excessieve co2 emissie is nieuw voor mij. Gaat het dan over productie? Waar zit ´m dat? Is dat dan niet net zo voor vinyl? Laat staan digitale data opslag etc? Heb je meer info, data, links? Thankssss ! Harold
On Tuesday February 18th I was Nicholas Horber's telephone guest, live at the KunschTTurm Clüb on the 22nd floor of the Tour de l'Europe in Mulhouse, France. For quite a while I talked in Dutch about my ‘Werdegang’. Here's a transcript, w/ links ánd playlist .. :-)

'Applaus!' & 'Rites' are rhythm based suso pieces that traverse the full set of colorations of their iniitiating grid. 'Applaus!' lasts one, and 'Rites' will play for five full years. Technical & combinatorial details, w/ some reflection on the signification of this 'sudokist serrealism,' are here:
Lower the volume to a whisper when you listen to ‘Rites,’ the second of two pieces that traverse the 362,880 possible colorations of a single Sudoku solution, whose 9 x 9 digits provide the patterns for four contrapuntal rhythmic ‘voices,’ sung by the droplet-like ticking sounds of four triangles.
In my « APPLAUS! », the 362,880 distinct colorations of a sudoku solution provide the serreal patterns for four up-tempo contrapuntal rhythmic 'voices,’ performed by four persons clapping their hands.
(A complete and unabridged rendition of the piece will last exactly one year.)
