With the release July 4 of Symposium 27 I’ve arrived at the halfway mark in the Symposium subscription series for 2025. This is an extra groovy edition spotlighting the orchestra composition entitled The English Channel, consisting of a file with original LP program and cover art, another with the program from the CD hyper-edit often known as EC III, the duet reduction performance with Evan Gallagher from one of my weeks at the Stone in New York City and an essay plus Dreamory excerpts about the original composing and performing of this piece and its importance as a community building event among the New York ‘downtown’ and greater international improvisation scene. Monthly subscriptions are still available for $20, but as an Independence day sale I am offering the rest of the year for $100—so one month free.
