Sounds interesting! Are you giving any papers?
Like the way you both kept your posts very short.... ;)

Gurn, Luv: Your avatar and the quote above it are longer than the two gentlemen's posts! ::)
Hi jochanaan, I might like to have submitted something I guess, but I only just found out about it, and not enough time just lately to prepare; in the future hopefully!
It seems aesthetically contradictory, Sean, to put too much effort or preparation into a paper on Minimalism, yes? 8)

Well yes, but I say it's contradictory to put too much effort into a paper on any music really: the intellectual never locks horns with the aesthetic. I'll be doing my bit to fight the corner though against whatever derisory contingent there may be.
So your own exercises in derision have been only in order to Know the Enemy, eh, Sean? ;)
I have vast stockpiles of derision, and can spew more venom and trash more stuff with glee than most.
Well, now, that's what I call unexpected ;D

Yes, we agree that you have vast stockpiles ...........

............ And your ability to spew remains unsurpassed ..........
This is a conference where a single paper will be presented a multiple of times with only one word changed between each presentation I suppose?
The conference has already happened.
What I'd like to know is, how was it?
Sean?
On his blog, here are a couple of posts by composer Kyle Gann, who attended. I believe in the second post, the last photograph may show [cough, cough] someone of interest. :D

how or why does minimalISM ever get included on a CM forum?
Anyone know?
The subject belongs at the backroom diner.
Mini means small, mal means bad. ISM is something like "run from the plague".
Thats makes sense.
If you class minimalism the same as the plague, then, Paul, why do you expose yourself to it here at GMG, a classical music forum? Just run from it, as you suggest, and this is done by scrolling past any reference to minimalism, or avoid a forum such as this, where people have a different opinion of minimalism. ???
Well, certainly that other thread was grist for the Diner, well done, Lis!
