Nico Muhly penned a thought-provoking piece for The Guardian last week, making some very coherent ties between classical and popular music, an artificial divide he shuttles between with extreme fluidity. Specifically, he calls out the experimental pop of Björk (a frequent collaborator), Radiohead (whose In Rainbows I'm listening to at this moment) and Brooklyn's own Sufjan Stevens (whose orchestral suite The BQE will receive its world premiere at BAM next month) as evidence of a "compositional agenda" at work. He sees this "crossover" as nothing unusual: just a shared dialogue between styles. One can only hope he would say the same of this somewhat-less eloquent venture.
