And, to address David Beardsley's comment, I don't know of any composer/performers who got grants from the roughly 50 grant panels I've been on in the last 20 years who didn't have a very strong advocate speaking about what the work sounded like. Work samples are always weighted much more strongly than artist statements and project descriptions for the very reason that many artists, and not just in music, have difficulty describing what they do in a way that communicates as well as their art work does.
Thanks Herb. I wasn't being totally serious! But I do understand that many artists have problems expressing themselves. Probably part of what drives their art in the first place. It's good to find out that decisions are made by listening instead of just evaluating applications. * David Beardsley * microtonal guitar * http://biink.com * David Beardsley * microtonal guitar * http://biink.com
