Conversations with composers featured in Ensemble Dal Niente's November 13 Webcast, Humming Through Branches, presented by the Library of Congress.  PART I.

Anthony R. Green talks to us about his background, his work with Castle of Our Skins, quotations in music, perspectives to studying history, and techniques and ideas behind his own compositions. Hosted by EDN'S own Amanda DeBoer Bartlett. 

Composers Wang Lu and Anthony Cheung join us to talk about their musical background, influences, issues of identity, sadness, affect, COVID19, and so much more. Together we listen to Lu's “Urban Inventory” and “Siren Song”, and Anthony’s "The Natural Word” and “Double Allegories”. In addition to being great guests, they are close friends of Ensemble Dal Niente, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.

In this episode with Carola Bauckholt, we discuss her orchestra piece "Im Auge des Klangs", the Violin and Samples piece "Doppelbelichtung", and a brand new work called "Witten Vakuum". We also go over her background, her studies with Mauricio Kagel, current work, the music of her students, and how she is coping with the Covid19 crisis. Carola is one of DN's favorite collaborators, and we hope you enjoy this talk!

From her home in London, Mexican-British composer Hilda Paredes talks to us about her background as a flutist and composer, influences from her Mayan roots, writing for specific or imaginary players, and how she copes with Covid19 days. Throughout the session, we discuss her Opera "El Palacio Imaginado", watch an excerpt from "Harriet", and listen to instrumental works "Ah Paaxo'ob" and "Siphonophore". I hope you enjoy the talk as much as we did!  #composer #covid19 #harriet_opera #isabelallende #composer #boxing_on_ice  Listen to Act I of "El Palacio Imaginado" here: https://soundcloud.com/user-471956334... and audio selections from "Harriet": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0RMv... https://youtu.be/vMV2mHa_-Z0  https://youtu.be/1QMwrSAgfGU "Fellow Travelers" is hosted by EDN'S own Michael Lewanski. http://www.michaellewanski.com   Visit us at: https://www.dalniente.com/    and join OUR PATREON!  https://www.patreon.com/dalniente
