I have recently taken on some guest contributors to KLANG in hopes of getting more regular postings, as well as a broader range of opinions and insights into the world of experimental contemporary music.
KLANG will soon be doing reviews of new releases by New Focus Recordings including the following:
- "Metafagote" - album by bassoonist Rebekah Heller
- "Passage" - debut album by piano trio Longleash
- "Assemblage" - Music by George Lewis, performed by Ensemble Dal Niente
- "The Book of Keyboards" by Third Coast Percussion (two works by Phillip Manoury)
