A man of wealth and taste
By Andy H-D | April 29, 2008
It behooves me to introduce myself to the audience of this fine podcast before I start my incoherent ramblings. My name is Andy Hanson-Dvoracek, guitarist, amateur musicologist, and now mercenary new-music bloginista. Those of you who attended the Winter (whatever it was) concert series last December might recognize me as the guitar player desperately struggling with Tony Lanman’s righteous Sonata 46. More likely you’ve seen my haunting presence in the comments sections of various other new music blogs or my own place, The Black Torrent Guard.As a musicologist, I exist in a weird place as far as this bleeding-edge classical stuff goes. There aren’t many of us, first of all. Those few brave souls who do try to deal with this noise that has been happening for the past forty or so years have abandoned much hope of making any sense of it. Lacking any of my own, that it what I aim to do as well as further elucidate just what we of the Juventas! brood are trying to do by celebrating this fantastic music. I certainly hope it is as enjoyable for you as it is infuriating for me.
