Composer Conversations with Daniel Vezza - A podcast by Daniel Vezza

Categories:

Richard is a composer and improviser who has collaborated with many leading performers in both areas, while developing works and ideas which increasingly leave behind the distinctions between them. His long-term collaborations include the electronic duo FURT which he formed with Paul Obermayer in 1986 (and its more recent octet version fORCH), composing for and performing with the ELISION contemporary music group since 1990, and regular appearances with the Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble since 2003. He studied composition principally with Peter Wiegold, and currently teaches at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague. You can listen to more of his music at www.richardbarrettmusic.com.
