Yeah, I've been raving about the Subotnick show since I've gotten back... from what I can tell on this board, only 3 of us went to this show, each one saying it was one of the best shows. For me, this could easily fall into top 10 territory.
And, I agree 100% on the MOOgfest thing, Zapp. I don't care if I sound ignorant... I know the pronunciation, it just sounds and feels better the other way.
Someone around here mentioned that this show was good, think I'll take a listen.
Might be your lucky day. His event at the Library of Congress was canceled due to the hurricane. It's been rescheduled for 11/9 and it's free (but you have to get tickets through Ticketmaster so there's a surcharge). It's the world premiere of a new electronic opera with his wife and a couple of others.

FOUNDER’S DAY CONCERT - Celebrating the birthday of the founder of the concert series, Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, with a special concert!
The pioneering work of American electronic music composer Morton Subotnick spans the past five decades, producing now-classic pieces like Silver Apples of the Moon through his ground-breaking work with the Buchla modular synthesizer. Trembling, an early foray into “Ghost” electronics, is the opener for the world premiere of a new Subotnick work, a 30 minute opera without words. Image: LillevanConceived for Joan La Barbara, “the queen of vocal experimentation” (The Wire), it’s an extraordinary aural and visual experience: the composer’s voice interacts with and controls the Buchla, in a “performed” light-and-image environment created live by German light/video artist Lillevan.

We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
