program note
In Transit
(view from a window) is programmatic only in a very general
sense. The ‘viewer’ might be looking back at Earth from a
space shuttle, or sitting in an aeroplane or a train
looking out from a window seat. Either way, the passenger
is caught between a sense of calm within the cabin (the
external noise created in transit is either inaudible or
considerably muted), and the reality of the speed at which
they are travelling.
review
"Stuart
Greenbaum’s In
Transit (view from a window) for trombone and electronics brought
together popular and contemporary music practices”
