Professor Emeritus - Music The status of being retired gives one the chance to explore more music, which is why I am here. My work primarily involved performance, historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and also composition. (Although a composer, my works are under SOCAN & BMI licensing in North America.) I have just been named an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre which means all of my works will be collected for archival/library study purposes, and my unpublished works made available for rental/purchase for performance around the world (Dec. 09) In addition to the instruments listed with my profile, the following were not available in the drop-down list: most Medieval & Renaissance wind instruments, Baroque flute, Renaissance viols, and Baroque bass viola da gamba (as a continuo instrument). In addition to the Western classical tradition, I lived and studied in Indonesia, learning the language and some of the classical music traditions of Sunda (West Java), Java (the rest of the island) and Bali. I also have studied Indian classical music (both Hindustani and Karnatak), and to a lesser degree classical musical styles of Islamic countries from Morocco to Turkey. But my tastes are very eclectic, so I am just as happy with more popular forms from ambient, new-age, world, jazz, or pop, etc. separately or in combination. Life is more fun if you are open to differ "languages". I am happy to hear from other listeners, or artists directly, especially for chat topics. I would prefer not to receive "ad" requests without a note. Thanks. Note: I have decided to resist the temptation to write reviews as it too closely mirrors my profession. I am here simply to listen and discover.
