part 2 (appendix): Spark-day-by-day

SATURDAY-

The moment of arrival. I enter the saturday pre-spark pizza party. As I meet everyone I’m told quippily, “Yeah, we put your piece in the ‘scary electronics’ category”.

I laughed.

Later on I get the amplifiers. Thats a good sign.

SUNDAY- 2 days til spark:

part 1: taking it home: an "ircam piece" at an american festival

“You want to be able to take it with you”

Or something like that. That was Ed’s comment to me when speaking about pieces for electronics. He specifically mentioned this to me in regard to the “cursus” concert at ircam last year. And for good reason- the computer music scene in the states is a totally different paradigm.
