Sō Percussion performing Steve Reich's 1971 "Drumming" at the Bang on a Can LOUD Weekend last evening at Mass MoCA. Aurally mesmerizing, but visually like a kind of dance! 1/2

One of the highlights of my musical life is coming up: Bang on a Can's LOUD Weekend at Mass MoCA in North Adams:
https://massmoca.org/event/bang-on-a-can-loud-weekend-2025/
It's from the evening of Thursday, July 31, through Saturday, August 2. So much music that at many times there is of a choice of what concert to go to.

"I found a used copy of Michael Gordon‘s "Weather" in a bargain bin some time near the end of the 90s, and it stuck with me.
Gordon is co-founder of the #BangOnACan musical collective and attendant festival, and his work is often pretty interesting for it’s weird mix of accessible orchestral motifs, drenched in minimalism (think #SteveReich) and adventurous stretching (think #KronosQuartet) but it’s really his own thing."

My iPhone photos of the stage at #BangOnACan aren't great, but I like this one of the ceiling of the #MassMoCA Hunter Center.

Robert Black, Bass Virtuoso of the Avant-Garde, Is Dead at 67
This is so very sad. I've seen him perform live at previous #BangOnACan LOUD Weekends, and was assuming he'd be at this year’s one. An amazing performer, and seemed like such a gentle soul. #FuckCancer #RobertBlack

If you are in #NorthAdams for #BangOnACan or something else (maybe at #MassMoCA!), Hearts Place on Eagle St is a great place for tea, coffee and a quiet chat!

I’m going to the #BangOnACan #LOUDweekend at #MassMoCA next weekend, and it would be great to make some new acquaintances at the festival. If you are going too, feel free to chime in on this thread. And if you know people who might be going, boosting this post might help them, too, connect with interesting people at the festival!

Check the amazing technical spec provided by this geeked-out ReverbMachine piece -
https://reverbmachine.com/blog/deconstructing-brian-eno-music-for-airports/Also, the world would be such an empty soundscape if the Bang On A Can project never made their crazed way into it.
May your current splice of wakefulness be graced and glimmered by it all.
Pax et musica!
