2025 was when this OUP book, 10 years in the making, was finally published. It includes my essay “Dynamic Form: Models for Analyzing Processive Form in Spectral Music” My essay focuses on Grisey, Murail, and Saariaho (also Ligeti and Reich) and engages theories of Deleuze. tinyurl.com/bep9zzky

Heard Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra live for the first time. Tremendous! Don’t understand why it’s not programmed more often. It’s at least as good as Strauss’s other symphonic poems.
