a game of Go, for two pianos, was written in 1987 and premiered at the
3rd U.S.  Go Congress in the Summer of that year.  It was also featured on
NPR's "All Things Considered" in March of 1988.  The piece is based on game
six of a famous thirty-game match of the ancient Japanese board game Go,
played between Shusaku and Yuzo in 1853.  Each move of the game is "set" to
music, one of the player's moves being represented by one piano, and his
opponent's played by the second piano

The American Composers Forum's Sonic Circuits Festival of Electronic Music
is arguably the largest festival of its kind.  It differs from other others
in that it consists of a traveling, curated pool of works that forms the
basis of events occurring across the States and abroad throughout the year.
ACF annually solicits a pool of recordings from which several programs are
selected throughout the year.  This structure allows for multiple
performances and a broad representation of composers.
