Hello, readers. I wanted to let you all know that I'm making some changes to KLANG in the coming year. I'm hoping to start posting more regular content in 2018, and I am bringing on guest writers to bring a fresh perspective to experimental contemporary music.
One major change that I have decided to make is the "Early Reflections" section dedicated to interviews with emerging composers will have much better representation of marginalized voices in the new music community. As much as I love the music of a lot of white guys, there are plenty of women and people of color in the new music world, and their art deserves to be listened to, understood, and discussed just as much as anyone else's. Additionally, I have recently begun a series of reviews of CDs by New Focus Recordings. Moving forward I will continue these reviews, and will start to add reviews of concerts, festivals, upcoming events and any other activities and releases of new music related to the "fringe" music to which KLANG is dedicated. So in short, for those of you who have enjoyed reading my musings, interviews and reviews, I hope that you continue to make regular visits, as well as share these articles with your friends and colleagues. With any luck, this little project I started in late 2013 will become a helpful outlet for composers, performers, researchers, and all fans of contemporary music that doesn't always get a wide amount of exposure. Thanks for reading.

Interesting but very hard to read. I had to hide the background pattern, remove the right justification, and change the font to be able to focus on the content. Blank lines between paragraphs would be nice as well.

I’m not sure what you’re referring to. This page has the same layout and text as the other pages on my site. Are you looking at the mobile version, because that has formatting issues and looks very different from the web version.
