Harpist Asuncion Claro and composer Lars Graugaard, from Denmark, have a concert of new music for harp & electronics, for the New York section of the ISCM (Int'l Society of Contemporary Music). Among the works presented, is Agostino Di Scipio's composition 'Some Strings Cry, Some Strings Quiet', composed in 1993 when he was in residence at Simon Fraser University, near Vancouver. While this piece was composed prior to Agostino's experience with Kyma (for the tape, he used Truax's POD system, and his own custom routines running on the POD's platform, based at that time on the older VAX computer + DMX1000 DSP), it clearly shows why Agostino then moved to Kyma as the platform for his later instrument(s)+live electronics works. Other composers in the concert program are: Lars Graugaard, Ake Parmerud, Fernando Garcia, and Takyukai Rai.
