"With titles and themes that allude to the conceptual world of antiquity, and with influences fro Oriental music and the technical and tonal universe of the renaissance, O traverses wide expanses. The relative technical complexity is often parried with a surprising immediacy born of his confident ear for acoustic texture and for the purely human experience of tonal transmutation"

Having found a random seat with a great conductive view, Sam Renseiw voodled with open ears in sound-around.

" I was about thirteen when I read an article in Look about Sam Goody's Record Store in New York. My memory is not too clear on the details, but I recall it was praising the store's exceptional record merchandising ability. One example of brilliant salesmanship described how, through some mysterious trickery, the store actually managed to sell an album called "Ionization". The article described the record as a weird jumble of drums and other unpleasant sounds."

Peeking into a rehearsal, Sam Renseiw caught some new nono-chromatic Swedish tunes, and very much hopes to get tickets for Friday, since the performance would also include Edgard Varese's Deserts, complete with a Bill Viola piece.
