Making Radio History with Wisconsin Public Radio

on Sat, 06/23/2012 - 15:47

Radio listeners in Wisconsin will have a special treat tomorrow (Sunday, June 24, 2012). They'll be the first-ever radio audience to experience a new score-following technology developed by MuseScore and SampleSumo. Wisconsin Public Radio is going to broadcast the entire 83 minutes of Kimiko Ishizaka's Open Goldberg Variations, and at the same time, invite listeners to watch the score by visiting the website opengoldberg.wpr.org. The score that appears in the browser is the new edition of the Goldbergs that was produced by Werner Schweer as a part of the Open Goldberg Variations project. I was interviewed by Norman Gilliland on WPR's "The Midday" show, discussing the new possibilities that MuseScore scores and score-following technology brings us. Here is that interview.

Today marks a new phase for me; I have joined the Commerce Guys as Director of Product Operations.

Today was an exciting day, as we released Kimiko's recording of the Goldberg Variations to the general public. For the past 20 months, this piece has consumed my existence, musically. Not only have I heard its many stages of development in Kimiko's hands, through numerous concerts, long hours of practice, and the five-day recording session in Berlin, but I've also scrutinized over a dozen other recordings of the piece by the great masters of the ages.
