Wow. The Mizzou New Music Summer Festival was an intense experience. The performance of Rails by Alarm Will Sound on Saturday night was truly the best performance I have ever had. Hopefully, I will be able to post some audio in a few weeks.

Additionally, the press for this festival was amazing. I had three interviews for three separate newspapers:

Now, I’m just trying to catch my breath a bit before leaving for ICMC at Huddersfield, England next Tuesday…

Kari Besharse is a composer of both electroacoustic and acoustic music. She is interested in finding new ways to combine and share ideas and materials between the two mediums through a cross-fertilization of processes and ideas. Inspired by the sounds and processes inherent in the natural world, timbre, texture, and sound are essential players in her works, which are often generated from a group of sonic objects or material archetypes that undergo processes of rupture, degradation, alternation, and expansion.
