We are pleased to announce a boxed set of 4 CDs and and book of 428 pages of scores, notes, and essays as a special Supplement to Perspectives of New Music Volume 49, number 2. The Supplement is included in the subscription to Volume 49 at no extra cost. These 24 compositions by living composers were commissioned by Perspectives of New Music for this project to commemorate the passing of Milton Babbitt.

PNM 49/2 Special Issue on Musical Tiling

John Rahn and Emmanuel Amiot have co-edited a special package for PNM volume 49, number 2 on the theory and practice of tilings in music. Much has been written recently using tiling to model rhythm (canons), following the seminal article by Dan Vuza in PNM. ("Supplementary Sets and Regular Complementary Unending Canons," Perspectives of New Music 29/2, 30/1, 30/2, and 31/1.)

The PNM/OS CD series

“To be a forum for valuable musical thinking that might otherwise remain unavailable” describes the ethos of Perspectives over its history. To this end, we are producing a series of CDs for our subscribers and other interested music-lovers, in a collaboration of Perspectives of New Music and Open Space. These CDs will go to PNM subscribers occasionially as part of their subscription.
