jury-rigged!

Yay! I finally have the Eastman organ department's home page looking vaguely decent pending redesign. At least it no longer says "We are just days away from the EROI Festival 2004 now..."

And Randy's ideas for an electroacoustic organ concert led me to what should have been the obvious, René Uijlenhoet's "Vorst aan de grond (2000) for two carillons, ringing bells and tape." Played by none other than my own former carillon teacher. And of course he didn't remember a thing about it when I asked him for repertoire suggestions.

Uijlenhoet also wrote "Zware Metalen for carillon, electric bells and amplified electronic sounds," which represented the Netherlands in the Prix Italia competition. Only in NL could you swing that.

Vorst aan de grond is an awesome but creepy piece!
