You asked to get in touch with me – please do.
Dear Renée – would you be willing to talk with me about a book project I’m putting together on musical minimalism in NYC between the mid-‘60s to mid-‘90s, with a substantial focus on Julius Eastman? Be good to get your take on some things specific to him, if at all possible. Best wishes, and thanks in advance. Ryan H.

I found your book on New Music in Buffalo, very helpful and was interested in the Max Neuhaus piece performed in a local pool. I’d like to find out more!
Well done!
