Everyone knows of the LA Phil's new-music adventures; many are becoming aware of wild Up, which will appear in the SONIC Festival in NYC in October. Mark Swed, in the LA Times, investigates lesser-known corners of the LA scene: wasteLAnd, Southland Ensemble, gnarwhallaby, the wulf. As Mark notes, wasteLAnd's summer series continues this weekend with Scott Worthington's Space Administration (Friday night) and a program of songs by Deyoe, Lachenmann, and Furrer (Saturday). I caught wasteLAnd's Tactile Sound event in May, and am still marveling at the memory of the Trio Kobayashi's all-brass version of James Tenney's Saxony.
