@neurovenki.bsky.social OT, but curious about your work. Closer to psychology, I'm very interested in music and the brain, and David Huron's great work "Sweet Anticipation" in particular. Any overlap?

LOVE that record! I use Abstraction whenever I teach serialism.

There were a few bassists. The one to our left is probably Jorge Roeder (we were the two jazz bassists), and then to our right is the classical double bass section. I think this instrumentation is based on Schuller's work with Joe Lovano, on the "Rush Hour" album.

He really was!. Although he had a reputation for being a bit rough on the musicians, he was nothing but pleasant with me. And encouraging!

For sure! Honestly, it was because of one of his weirdest records, “from the inside”, which reminded me of Evergreen from a star is born

Very curious about that!
