Hi Nico,
I love so much the way you write. I want to cite something for you that may be of use: ‘Indeed, all things move, all things run, all things are rapidly changing. A profile is never motioness before our eyes, but constantly appears and disappears. Moving objects constanlty multiply themselves, change shape, succeeding one another, in the space which they traverse. Thus a running horse has not for legs, but twenty and their movements are triangular.’ (Boccioni, 1910)

I am with Matt. Pretty Brilliant. Messiaen, Glass, Muybridge, 7th flutes, Bjork. The Mind Boggles/Delights. With you, no delicious difference. Cannot wait to hear/read more.

Nico –

The graphic you refer to in your comment about Bjork’s concert looks very much the labor of smalin who has developed these pictoral representations of classical works. Actually a great way for those who cannot read music to get an idea of the “score” and for composers a fertile ground for ideas to approach graphic scores. I strongly suggest checking his channel out. This person has done this as a labor of love – they deserve far more credit and exposure.

Too bad I left the NYO last year. They seem to be doing all their exciting collaborations in 2012 (Anna Meredith, Bellowhead, Nico Muhly…)

Come anyway! Play along!

Pretty brilliant. You are making me think about Muybridge and his undeniably valuable contribution to early cinema. The rhythm of motion and the rhythm of story and the rhythm of vision combined to form this amazing art form that has so many unexplored connections with music (especially larger symphonic musics). Trying to work out the complexities in how the rhythm of our bodies function in relation to the rhythm of affect is an admirable journey. Best of luck!

WHAT KIND OF MONSTER HAS TEN LEGS? I ask this question when I wake up with two dogs on top of me and I count up the legs in the bed and wonder what the hell happened that two species could behave like this, and now there’s gonna music for it!!! Go, Nico!
