After my mp3 hosting problems, I’ve switched to Soundcloud. All the mp3 links here sound work, and you can find my Soundcloud profile at www.soundcloud.com/greg-surges/.

Just a few notes about the upcoming release from David Collins, Steve Schlei, and myself on Petcord.

• Duration is uncertain, but it looks like it will be a fairly decent duration – around an hour?.
• Three compositions, “Mediation” by David (check out the score here), and my own “RadioGamelan” and “Fission.”
• Some really really tasty improvisations have been happening, which will surely be included too.
• Recording at KSE, and the sound quality has been great – we’re really excited for people to hear this.

I just received word that my piece Waveformations will be on the headphone concert at the SEAMUS conference this year. I’m not sure, but according to the email I received, it looks like there will be two performances of the concert – one on Thursday, April 8th and one on Friday, April 9th, both at 10:00pm. I’m looking forward to the headphone concert idea, it’s not something I’ve been a part of before. If you’re planning to attend, the organizers ask that you bring your own headphones.

By the way, if you’re interested, you can check out the original album that Waveformations was released on. It’s from Wandering Ear, a netlabel releasing primarily field-recording and phonographic works. All of the tracks are reconstructions of an earlier Wandering Ear release, made of field recordings from Minnesota. My friend and collaborator David Collins also has a track there, which you should definitely check out.
