Week 12: Post 2
Looking at other successful chamber ensembles and composers, I've noticed that the audio clips they have on their websites are with Sound Cloud. Sound Cloud is free and fairly easy to use, plus it is a popular platform for media other than music, which can be useful for having pre-concert discussions as a resource.
The first series of apps based on compositions and concepts of contemporary classical composers by Steve Reich, John Cage, and Augusta Read has been created by a quartet called Third Coast Percussion (TCP). With the Steve Reich app it features an interface in which users can create their own minimalist compositions through patterns and concepts derived from composer. TCP also has a space for users to listen to excerpts from upcoming albums. Not only do these apps have general token value and promotional value for the music of TCP, it also taps into the historical significance of music from the 20th century and on.
This is an idea that could work for different sized ensembles that also play music from different historical periods. There are chamber groups that only play baroque music and there could be an app for that purpose. It would also help audiences understand the music they are hearing if they can also create it and compare it to samples provided by the group. Brightwork could take this idea and apply it to the style of contemporary classical music written for "Pierrot and percussion."
