I wrote How About Now<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0for the wonderful NOW Ensemble<\/a> as a challenge to myself “\u201c how to write ultimately idiomatic music for each individual instrument as well as for the ensemble as an organism.\u00c2\u00a0 I wanted the piece to feel like it comes from their pre\u00c3\u00abxisting pantry of musical devices “\u201c a sort of thrown-together meal with close friends: a can of chick peas here, this mysterious dried mushroom, that jar of cocktail onions, and somehow, dinner happens.\u00c2\u00a0 Structurally and harmonically, the piece is a comfortable, communal one, and lasts seven minutes.<\/p>\n
