Conversations with Allen Otte: Herbert Brün, Part 1

These candid conversations (during the social distancing of the Coronavirus pandemic) with Allen are being held as a standing weekly appointment. In the coming weeks we will discuss various aspects of percussion history and literature. This week’s episode is part 1 of a conversation about composer Herbert Brün. Al gives a brief bio of Brün. Then, we focus in on Brün’s early percussion solo graphic scores from 1967: Plot, Touch and Go, and Stalks and Trees and Drops and Clouds.
