This just in from UIUC Illinois News Bureau: Experimental composer headlines events examining art-science connections. This news article by Jodi Heckel describes the origin and agenda of my truly unique, two-week residency at UIUC as a George A. Miller Visiting Professor, with twelve events, starting October 3rd. Anastasia Chernysheva, a doctoral student in history, organized the event series, and an extraordinary interdisciplinary array of faculty and student colleagues from across multiple departments at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are collaborating.

NOWS from David Rosenboom and Sarah Belle Reid is a captivating expression of the radical challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The music examines the notion of “co-presence,” or togetherness, when experienced in isolation. This seemingly self-contradictory concept became an everyday occurrence as in-person gatherings became video conferences. Performer-composers Reid and Rosenboom spent this time passing fragmented musical ideas back and forth. In this organic way, a collection of “sound correspondences” accumulated between the two artists, made with instruments ranging from strings and horns to modular synthesizers, analog signal processors, urban and desert soundscapes, and much more. The resulting album, NOWS, is a post-genre masterpiece that speaks to our unique moment in history.

New book chapter just published in the book Sound Work: Composition as Critical Technical Practice, edited by Jonathan Impett, Leuven University Press, part of Orpheus Institute Series. This chapter explores and challenges paradigms about how we extract and perceive the features of musical and related forms, along with a set of composition stories, how the ideas and techniques in some of my recent works emerged. The book includes links to online media objects, recordings, videos, etc. to further illustrate and expand its texts.

This is a multimedia artist statement based on my 2018 keynote at the Orpheus Instituut conference, The Power of Musical Networks. Thanks to Juan Parra Cancino for putting this together. This is a wonderful issue with contributions from an array of important thinkers and practitioners.

Downloads of this recording are available at Bandcamp and Cafe OTO. This live solo concert was recorded at the wonderful Brussels venue, Les Ateliers Claus, and mixed and mastered in David Rosenboom’s studio. The concert featured three major works: Earth Encomium with Nothingness is Unstable, Yamaha Disklavier piano and computer/electronics; Portable Gold and Philosophers’ Stones (Deviant Resonances), brainwaves and computer/electronics; and Transformations on Hymn of Change, Yamaha Disklavier piano and computer/electronics.

David Rosenboom wrote a chapter for this new, just published book: Exploring Compositional Choice in the SalMar Construction and Related Early Works by Salvatore Martirano. Edited by Miller Puckette and Kerry L. Hagan: Cambridge: The MIT Press, 2020.

A new Ebook edited by Diego Minciacchi and David Rosenboom has been published in Frontiers in Neuroscience and Frontiers in Neurology.

The second book in a series from Shelter Press on the theme of Resonances has just been released with chapters by an extraordinary group of composer-performer-sound artists, including David Rosenboom’s Resonance Morphogenesis.

This wonderful classic book of 23 interviews with musicians from the American experimental music scene in 1975 has now been reissued by MusikTexte along with a CD containing recordings of those interviews. “What I’m looking at really is the existence of regularly pulsing energy,” from the interview of David Rosenboom.

BRAINWAVE MUSIC – Black Truffle present the first ever vinyl reissue of David Rosenboom‘s legendary Brainwave Music, originally released on A.R.C. Records in 1975. This is an expanded double-LP edition with over 40 minutes of additional contemporaneous material that has never been released before.

Rosenboom will be special guest in residence at this International Course for Composers and Percussion Players taking place in Central Czechia close to the UNESCO cultural heritage city of Litomyšl. The symposium includes daily concerts, lectures, individual lessons, and roundtables for an international audience of participants. Photo: Nicola Voss

David Rosenboom will present a full concert of original works as composer-pianist on the series Experimentación Lontano at the Center for Experiments at Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The program will survey several decades of Rosenboom's compositions for piano, interactive algorithmic/electronic systems interfaced with piano and Disklavier, works incorporating systematic improvisation, and more.

Rosenboom's well known "Portable Gold and Philosophers' Stones (Deviant Resonances)", a work built on the concept of "listening as performance" for brainwave active imaginative listeners, computer-electronics, and auxiliary instrument(s) will be presented by L'ina GRM and Radio France during a weekend of concerts called FOCUS.

Rosenboom will present a live piano and computer/electronic performance drawing on excerpts from his Nothingness is Unstable and Earth Encomium as part of CalArts Expo 2018. Reflecting California Institute of the Arts’ experimental ethos, the Institute’s CalArts Expo rolls out its latest projects integrating cutting-edge engineering and computer science with visual and performing arts.

Wake up, the world’s on fire!” (Lawrence Ferlinghetti). This assemblage of aesthetico-political music for contemplation and empowerment features postgenre sounds for vigilance against the commodification of ignorance and the barbarization of democracy. Rosenboom and his team perform with instruments, electronics, and voices and add prescient, prophetic lines by socio-political seers: Ferlinghetti, Foucault, Pythagoras via Ovid, Sun-tzu, Mark Twain, and others. Interlacing evocative, virtuosic music with images by Lewis Klahr, whose uniquely idiosyncratic films use found images to explore the intersection of memory and history. “With my burnt hand, I write on the nature of fire.” (Flaubert).
