This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Other Minds Festival. We have available some commemorative items here on the webstore - first a new OM T-shirt as well as copies of the OM 20 printed program with a whopping 110 pages including lots of photographs.
If you were not able to be there in person, you will soon be able to hear the performances on our archives site, radiOM.org.
We are gearing up for Rhys Chatham's A Secret Rose to be premiered on the West Coast on November 17th at the Craneway Pavillion in Pt. Richmond. Get more information and tickets HERE.
Very limited stock of T-shirts and one of Rhys' recent releases on vinyl, Rêve Parisien, are now available in the webstore.
We hope that those who cannot attend or purchase anything in our store can still support this large scale project and its production costs by donating to our Kickstarter campaign:
The 18th Other Minds Festival is coming up: Feb 28-Mar 2, 2013. Check out the lineup and join us if you can:
Also, soon to be added in the Books section is Joel Sachs' biography on Henry Cowell: A Man Made of Music.
A few scores from past OM festival composers have been posted for sale. We'll be going through the score archives and adding a few every month.
We are in the middle of preparing for a big event in collaboration with Cal Performances, the Berkeley Art Museum and the Pacific Film Archive that will take place November 2-4 in Berkeley, California: A Centennial Celebration honoring the life and work of maverick composer Conlon Nancarrow.
Please consider spending your money to support this project instead of buying a few CDs on our webstore (for now anyway!)
Watch the video below for some background on the composer and this project. Hopefully it will inspire you to support it.
Our new store is almost 100% alive, still a work in progress so we welcome comments on your experience browsing around.
If you are new to Other Minds, here's a short introductory video to give you an idea of the artists we've been honored to have participate in our festival over the years. (Some of these artists have manuscript pages for sale in our "scores" section)
