- Nice review of CD release concert in this morning's NYTimes: www.nytimes.com/2011/01/14/arts/music/14round.html
- who said it's a piece of cake to live thru a NYC apt reno? no one said it. and they were rift not to say it.
- back from china to find ... bedbugs. another NYC rite of passage. more positive: nice audience for MONO and Hammer&Hair tonite @ Cornelia St
- hong kong airport, waiting to board. happy I remembered to go on line and snag the last aisle seat before leaving hotel.
- Last day in China. Beautiful view of mountains in HK New Territories from hotel window. new blogpost www.neilrolnick.com/hearingblog
"Should be welcomed with cheers . . . A considerable labor of love . . . Recordings like these don't often win those international prizes (mostly because the producers can't afford the hype). But I have no hesitation in declaring Enclosure Two one of the most important releases of the year."
- Allan Ulrich, San Francisco Examiner
"These CDs fill out our picture of Partch into a life of tremendous complexity . . . a whopping four CD set . . . the lot is a treasure trove of early sketches and intimate moments that invite us to rethink Partch’s significance. The question becomes not, ‘Is Partch the greatest American composer?’ but, ‘Aside from Partch and a few others, does American music exist at all?"
- Kyle Gann, Village Voice
