Oh Craig! You nailed it. Great to hear a fellow student of Morty. If new music was always that funny, composers wouldn’t be so unpopular. Remember my sax quartet & orchestra comment from Morty? I brought you in to my lesson so the vitriol wouldn’t be wasted on me alone. (“are we ever gonna get out of here?”
Boy he really disliked my trio as well: “sounds like music from the suburbs of Argentina”. Have a great spring in VT
Al k
I rather like the music of suburban Argentina, Al. Craig, I know you have many more Feldman quotes–some we will keep to ourselves.
Everyone must lie on the floor and listen to “The Viola in my Life.”
Reading the recent story about the restoration of those amazing Rothkos stowed away in a basement at Harvard had me returning to “Rothko’s Chapel.”
Mark C
Thanks Mark. How are you? Craig, Can’t believe I saw this posting tonight at 10 pm as I just moved to Maine, lost track of my CDs & just located my Rothko Chapel & Coptic Light recordings. Playing them at 9:50 tonight. Morty lives…
Other trivia: I first met him at Scirri’s, my Kenmore NY pizza shop right after premiere of 2nd string quartet. (He liked their dandelion pasta)
Al, good to hear again from you. What brought you to Maine…?
I remember Scirri’s…one of the many distinctions of being a part of the last Feldman generation…
CB
Cool, Craig. I forgot you got up to Kenmore a lot. You had that nice place on Richmond Ave.
I took a position as University of Maine IT Operations Manager, & still write exactly what no one wants to hear. Mitty quote of the day: “NY composers are trapped like a RRATT! What are you gonna do, be an uptown composer? Or are you gonna go Downtown and be Phillip Plexiglass!?”
“Steve Glass and Phil Reich…they’re interchangeable…” Morty…later that same year…
BTW…I’d like to hear what you’re writing…
Hey Craig. My stuff is up at iTunes under “Al Kryszak” & AlanKryszak.com.
Can I catch up on recent scores of yours?
I see you have a performance on the 1st?
Nice.
AK
I’ll check it out…yes, performance tomorrow at Winthrop U. There’sa scores page at craigbove.com.
Thanks Alan,
Craig

Mark, good to hear from you…hope you’re well. Morty’s presence still resonates powerfully with me, Al and anyone who came within earshot of him…although there were days (as evidenced in our remarks) where he would drop us like a bag of dirt…
CB
Ha…dead on…
Ya can’t go high tech…ya can’t go low tech…and crazy Karlheinz is chasing after you…how do you get outta the building? So being a composer is like being James Bond…
…and btw…congrats on the new gig…
