I am listening Chamber Music V as I write this. I have long felt that avante garde classical music and free jazz converge at some point and this piece supports my notion. Thank for your wide ranging interests! You are certainly making me aware of many artists I would not have encountered. It is great you straddle the jazz and classical words with such an open mind.

Heavy stuff... interesting criticism of Jarre there-- in that case feel it's worth mentioning Jarre's '70s and '80s scores usually seem to be very good (even the synth heavy ones). Most recently, the cue for the closing credits of 'Once apon a Time in Hollywood' is a well- curated and poignant example soundtrack recycling.

thanks for comment! I personally am not against Jarre in general, but I was pretty amazed by just how catty Rosenman was being in print (and I don't like "Lara's Theme")

PS. I would like to see the score too! I have to listen to the Anthony Braxton Mosaic box again.
