[NewMusic] Christian Lauba

[Matthew Goodheart]

I can see that. I'm still working through it, and so curious about  
other's reactions. It seems to me there's a certain emotional distance  
in Lauba's stuff, which is interesting too. I'm sort of intrigued by  
how it would differ from improvisations, or lead in different  
directions because it's written, though some of his early scores seem  
to say to give it an improvised feeling. Also interesting that he was  
writing this in the late 80's and early 90's. I need to listen more  
closely to think about the formal structures, too. Not ready to write  
it off as bogus (yet). . .
