Obsessions

The new-music radio channel Q2 has asked me participate in a series called "Current Obsessions," in which I select one work a week for broadcast. The first is Jürg Frey's String Quartet No. 3, which I wrote about in my Wandelweiser column. It will be heard at 1pm Eastern today and several more times through the week. To come are works by Linda Catlin Smith, Liza Lim, Agata Zubel, Michael Pisaro, Scott Worthington, Ashley Fure, and others — twelve in all, through February.
