“Wonderful couple of days working with the Kronos Quartet at the MIT Media Lab, trying out ideas and techniques for a new piece I am composing for them as part of their “Fifty for the Future” series. The Kronos and I have known each other for many a moon, and it is always a pleasure to reconnect with their artistic adventure, their generous spirit, and their political and social engagement. I think that they were equally entranced by the Media Lab spirit of imagination and playfulness. A good match, and lots of creative fun ahead.”–from Tod Machover’s Facebook page.
