I also try to listen to my share of contemporary 20th century music.
Here inBeantown there are a few things going on.....MIT has a great
electronic music studio that gives concerts periodically. Of course
there is the New England Conservatory with Ran Blake, Tom McKinley and
others, and my favorites a local group of composers who go by the name
of Composers in Red Sneakers.
These guys have an album out and recently made their New York debut.
I can be critical of what I think of as derivitive (sic?),boring,
'new music', but these guys present substantial, interesting music, with
an excellent sense of humor. If anyone out there has a chance to see
them or get their album-do it....I think you'll be glad you did.

p.s. Chris, I saw 'Mishima' twice...the weakest part of the movie
was Glass'  music...you know that major 7th arpeggio that he
made excessive use of in Koyaanisquaattsi (sic)? Well he's made
even more excessive use of it here....keith
