Contemporary Music Review special issue, George Crumb: Style, Idea and Performance Practice edited by Yati Durant, published!

A dear project to me has now finally been completed: I can proudly present the publishing of a special issue on my mentor and composition teacher, the late George Crumb, in the latest issue of Contemporary Music Review, Volume 41, Issue 1 (2022). The issue is titled George Crumb: Style, Idea and Performance Practice published by Taylor and Francis. I have edited this issue with contributions by many other leading International George Crumb scholars, Robert C. Cook, Kristina L. Knowles, Abigail Shupe, Marilyn Nonken, and Philipp Lalitte. In this issue, I have also added a series of interviews I made with George Crumb between 2013 - 2018.

About Quiet Cities:

Quiet Cities are live improvised sound art visualised field recordings from Edinburgh Leith/Water of Leith, UK at 4pm on May 5th 2020. The field recordings have been electronically altered slightly and each of them are different. “I walked around during a lockdown afternoon in May 2020 with my stereo field microphone. The city sounded strange to me…so quiet and subdued. These are free improvisations on the impressions I had at the time…”
