Speaking of Richard Burdick, he recently advocated "no mouthpiece buzzing" in a mail to this group, and I think he's said this before so must feel pretty decisive about this. Why is this, Richard? Alot of teachers say the more buzzing the better, so I am confused. Hope you are well up there in Canada.... Thanks, Fred

I have been away from academics too long to label this music as being "electronic" or "modern" but it is certainly not a night at the opera. He made it using a 5 track method with his very austere horn and horn chord solos being combined with tracks of untuned drones, a mathematical induced track and a improvised track. It is much easier to listen to than to describe. I have some modern disks that are too mathematically predictable for me to enjoy, all of the music on this disk is based on a human playing a horn so I don't really know where it is going before I hear it. I guess "contemplative" or "introspective" would be a good way of describing this disk. interesting.
