Thanks for very thoughtful words as well as a great job recording under trying circumstances. That room did remind me of some of my old favorite vinyl recordings. I'm not sure I can be trusted, though, to inform as the composer imagined - though I know (or knew) all of those I played. Perhaps instead of informance (a word Mathew Rosenblum used to introduce RedDust when it was in development) I would say transformance. It captures music on the knife-edge between what I think I know about it and how I send that out to my listener, who then turns that experience into his/her idea of what just happened. I've played Ursula Mamlok's From My Garden for more than 20 years and it still changes every time - even when I try to repeat it as exactly as possible. I'm still always trying to present what I think are the essential qualities of each work - but I'm always changing my mind, and in any case my memory is notoriously unreliable.
Fresh = without refrigeration?
Very transnotional, anyway.
