Preface
"The second aspect of the garden is a series of mental states and of corresponding corporal gestures, inscribed in memory. The fixation in memory of the sum of all the experiences that have already occurred, treating matter through body actions, allows one to recall them at any time in any order possible. We have here the notion of a walk through our physical and mental potentialities. As in everyday speech, the process of remembering is not a fully conscious act, as can be the case with written composition and the time of reflection that it permits, it remains based on automatic reflex actions. It is a traveling between consciousness and unconsciousness which opens a path to an awakening ecstasy." Jean-Charles François "Dialogs of Deafening Gifted Eavesdroppers"The Open Space Magazine Issue 11 Fall 2009

Gradus 282 - Neal Kosály-Meyer [January 2016]
September 13, 2016
Die Kunst der Fuge Contrapunctus I - J. S. Bach - Zoltán Kocsis
Ringing the dynamic between independence and cooperation. It takes a village to be a fugue. And how it hangs in midair at the end, cadenced but unsettled.
Keyboard Sonata in E-flat Hob. XVI:28 - Haydn - Christine Schornsheim
Delightfully ramshackle, but all of a piece. Or: All of a piece in its image of ramshackley delight. Elbows and knees.
In Session at the Tintinabulary

Corollaries (Up's Up) 160911 - Keith Eisenbrey
In 2013-2014 I composed a set of 8 piano pieces under the project title Études d'exécution imminent. They are 17-tone serial works, all based on successive m-transforms of the same "mod 17" tone row. The original chart projected 16 or 17 pieces in the set, but after the first 8 I felt I had come to a stopping place so I took a self-imposed, and not particularly strictly observed, sabbatical from writing music. In the spring of 2015 I started working on Second Thoughts, which takes up the place of the ninth etude. That was a bit of a struggle, and took about a year and a half to complete. The four pieces that constitute this tenth etude: (Up's Up), (Down's Down), (Down's Up), and (Up's Down), were essentially complete in a week. Such are the vagaries of creative work. The recording I made on Sunday is not intended, on its own, for a reading of the piece, but as raw sonic material for an electronic arrangement I am concocting.

Banned Rehearsal 918 160912 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Steve Kennedy, Aaron Keyt, Neal Kosály-Meyer
As frustrating as Banned Rehearsal can be at times, over the decades, there are moments of awesome transparency, such as this. Improvisation is really too fancy a word for what is really just dinking around making sounds. Full engagement is what makes the difference.
