6 FEB 2021 · It was a year ago that Benjamin and I spoke about his fine piano artistry on my album, The Gilded Age. In this second half of our conversation, he plays a bit of music for us and gives us a look inside Liszt's monumental Piano Sonata in b-minor. You can connect with Benjamin on Instagram (@bhardingmusic), facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.harding) and his website www.benjaminhardingmusic.com/blog
26 JAN 2021 · It was a year ago that Benjamin and I spoke about his fine piano artistry on my album, The Gilded Age. With a strange year for so many of us, I wanted to reach back to him to catch up. In this episode he shares an up-close look at the challenge of learning a really challenging piano masterpiece (Franz Liszt's b-minor Piano Sonata), and shares his thoughts about it. We get a glimpse of the technical and emotional challenges such a works presents. I divided our discussion into two parts. In part 1, we discuss a little bit about how life has changed for performers in the last year, and we dive into the piece.You can connect with Benjamin on Instagram (@bhardingmusic), facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.harding) and his website www.benjaminhardingmusic.com/blog
21 NOV 2020 · In this episode, I welcome back composer, author, and educator Jeffrey Nytch. Jeff and I spoke last year about his music, how he discovered the orchestral tradition, and we listened to some of his symphonic music. In this episode, I touch base with Jeff to hear about the bi-aural audio project he was presenting in Boulder, CO, and then we turn to the impacts of our society's response to the COIVD pandemic on the art and livelihood of classical performers. It is a conversation filled with insight, and hope, and hope you find his comments as engaging as I did. You can keep up with Jeff at this website: https://jeffreynytch.com
31 OCT 2020 · We're back after a harrowing escape from a potential lifetime of imprisonment in a mysterious musical prison (h/t The Golden Sparrow). I had the opportunity in September to have a discussion with an outstanding composer and musician, Leanna Primiani, and that conversation is in this episode. Like all my guests, Leanna shares a bit of how she encountered 'classical' music and how it seized her imagination for a lifetime of music creation. She composes music for media (film/tv/video games) as well as for the orchestral concert stage. We talk about her sensitivity to the mixture of colors and how this led her to explore the introduction of electronic sounds into the fabric of the orchestra. She's an engaging guest and I know you will enjoy hearing her insights. Take a moment to learn more about her and hear her music at her website: http://www.leannaprimiani.net/ Â
29 AUG 2020 · "In fevered dreams, my subconscious replayed fragments of my current imprisonment like a stained-glass window assembled by a madman. In my dream I saw glimpses of machines without controls, photos of long-deceased dignitaries, instruments that remained silent, and poetry that I could not read. In short, they were involuntary ruminations of an imagination that had been overwhelmed by an unveiling of truths for which it was unprepared. "Welcome to season two of Anachronism with seven-part adventure through The Golden Sparrow.Part 8 - The FinaleBackground: In March 2019, I opened a musical escape room in my hometown of Fort Collins. It ran for a few months and featured live musicians and musical puzzles. As a business venture, it was operationally difficult to sustain, but as an artistic enterprise it was quite rewarding. To create the room, I started with the story that grounded the experience and I thought it might make a nice addition to this podcast. I spent the last few months crafting the experience of the escape room into a short tale that I will now share over a series of weeks with you, my listeners. Join me for a plunge into the mysterious past of Fort Collins, CO with music and imagination. This story will also introduce you to a new recording of the music I composed along with the fragments that comprised the puzzles.If you enjoy the Anachronism podcast, please take a moment to reach out to me. I touch on a lot of different topics, so I'd love to hear from you about what you enjoy, and what I can do to better share my love of music and to enrich your life with these episodes. Thanks for listening!web: https://gustavhoyer.comemail: salutations@gustavhoyer.comfacebook: https://www.facebook.com/gustavhoyer.composer.impresario/Twitter: @gustavhoyerLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/gustav-hoyer-9809552/
