The Randy Hostetler Livingroom Music Project

New edition from Frog Peak Music (a composers’ collective). Each book is over 500 pages, now $30 per book. Most important to us is that Anthony Braxton’s words, thoughts, philosophy, and unique view of the history of black [sic] creativity be available. Design and light editing: jody diamond and John McGhee. (at Amazon KDP)

This week marks the 25th anniversary of Randy Hostetler's death. A lovely woodwind quartet composed soon thereafter by the composer Steve Horowitz and dedicated to Randy has now been posted to YouTube. Here is the link:

Support for our new music composers and musicians is urgently needed as COVID-19 has cancelled concerts and devastated the gig economy. Please join the Randy Hostetler Livingroom Music Project in supporting New Music USA's NEW MUSIC SOLIDARITY FUND which will contribute 100% of your gift as grants to these new music artists who continually replenish our souls with their artistry.

New Music Solidarity Fund The New Music Solidarity Fund is designed to help new/creative/improvised music freelancers whose projects have been canceled during the COVID-19 crisis.

This will be a fantastic festival and a great way to celebrate Women's Day!

About WoCo Fest 2020 — Boulanger Initiative In their second annual celebration of International Women’s Day, the Boulanger Initiative presents WoCo Festival 2020 at Big Bear Cafe and All Souls Church on March 8th, 2020, with the theme of local action and grassroots.

Are we content with talking a big game about things like diversity, equity, and inclusion but not actually following through in a way that is ethically consistent or impactful? The change we seek in our new music ecosystem isn’t going to occur by spouting off in anger on a Facebook thread. We have to take this passion and conviction we feel, and carry it through with real-world projects that directly engage others. https://nmbx.newmusicusa.org/ethical-artistry-does-any-of-this-really-matter-if-so-what-practical-steps-can-i-take/
