I'd like to think that my creativity, acceptance and intelligence is a bit above average (at least the former two). However, every year I look at this schedule and find myself perplexed and more perplexed.
I thought that the Salvatore Sciarrino sounded interesting until I looked him up and was shrilled out of my seat by disturbing gut wrenching noise.
I guess I'll have to stick to MASS MOCA or perhaps just massive mochas, Lord knows I do love my coffee.

Battle Trance will be excellent.

I think being a bit perplexed is a good thing. It's an opportunity for curiosity. Some of my favorite events at EMPAC over the years have been the ones I stumbled into without any frame of reference for what I was about to experience. The audience is doing just as much "experimenting" as the performers are.
