The astonishing Pamela Z speaks on KQED's Forum about New Music and the Other Minds Festival.

@pamelazed is a computer in residence at the @pwchorus and is currently composing a piece for us. She worked with us in rehearsal earlier this fall.

It was great to hear this rebroadcast after an afternoon with a local book club discussing my latest novel. The Lakeview Suite.

If you like hearing about experimental music, try The Lakeview Suite. One of the main characters composes in this space. I've drawn on my experiences working with experimental composers while singing with the PWC to create the character of Candice. She's a complicated woman creating some very interesting works.

Feel free to reach out if you're interested in book club events, too

Apparently, while I was inside the concert at West Oakland Sound Series my little Fiat 500 made a friend.
