Alan Shockley
his music mostly disappeared from the concert stage, and, when his name was mentioned at all, it was mostly not for his composition work but for his (admittedly important) performance as the baritone soloist of Peter Maxwell Davies Eight Songs for a Mad King in the 1973 Nonesuch recording. In the last few years there have been several high-profile performances of his music, including a January 20th Los Angeles premiere of his Gay Guerilla on the Jacaranda concert series in Los Angeles. Eastman’s Stay On It combines a pop music-inspired main riff repeated in the manner of a minimalist work, rather than a pop one, with elements of improvisation, noise, and randomness.
